And All In a Day.

“Let us suppose it became necessary to send the entire National Guard of New York out of the state, how long would it take the rhilroads to handle them*” was asked a railroad official in New York. “Twenty-four hours, easy!” was the instant reply. “This is under war conditions, remember, which means that everything gives ’ way to the movement of troops and their equipment. The railroads of America can handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations, much faster than they can be assembled and delivered to us. “In fact under war conditions the railroads are prepared to do their part quicker and better, with more certainty and better speed, than any other part of the machinery, commercial or military, in America.”—Railroad Man’s Magazine.
