HAHDSOMfNlW NOTRATIONfD GUARANTEED WHITE This wartime Holiday Season we advise yon to "try the train "We're pulling the heaviest, loads in history, using every locomotive our railroad owns or can borrow. We're short of trained men, too. To avoid disappointment, better plan on spending Christmas at home." 5.

P. Engineer In normal years the Christmas season is a jolly time on the railroad and one of our biggest travel seasons. People throng our stations to welcome guests arriving for the holidays, or to give friends a gay send-off. Package-laden travelers bound for family reunions fill our trains. Yes, we railroaders have fun carrying people on holiday journeys, and we hate to disappoint a single ticket seeker but this war year "All our trains are full and all equipment is in service.

This year we can't add extra to take care of usual holiday crowds. Frankly, our service to civilians now can't be up to prewar 5. P. Comfvcfor we really have no room for pleasure travelers. Service men on holiday furloughs, relatives traveling to meet them, military personnel in organized groups, business men in war people now have first call on our facilities.

This means that, unless you must travel, you'll be wise NOT to try the train. We sincerely hope there'll come Christmas soon when the message from our railroad can be different! CLEAR THE RAILS FOR HOLIDAY FURLOUGH TRAVEL "A lot of us service men hope to go home by train on day furloughs. And oilier fellows who can't get home will be visited by parents, wives or sweethearts.
