For the last twenty years it has been my good fortune to have excellent opportunity to view the great strides America's railroads have made in improving and speeding up their passenger and freight service, as well as their motive power, yard facilities, signals, train dispatching, maintenance of way, and all-round operations. The foresight of the officials in putting the various roads in the high state of efficiency that they are in today has shown up very clearly since the United States entered the war, and the railroads have been carrying the heaviest amount of freight and passenger traffic that they have ever been called upon to carry and are successfully accomplishing the greatest task in the history of transportation.
