“This is one side of the railroad war effort you probably seldom think about—the gigantic job of keeping the roadway in shape.

With trains on the go day and night, carrying the heaviest

bridges take a terrific pounding—without any let-up, too.

To keep tracks in shape to carry this tremendous load costs a lot of money. Rails and crossties must be replaced, ballast cleaned for proper drainage, bridges and structures repaired. The amount spent by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1943 for these purposes alone represented more than 11 cents of every dollar the sailroad took in. That expenditure represented almost 10 per

~ Keeping Tracks Fit For War's Load

It cost the Pennsylvania Railroad $108,488,084 last year . to maintain tracks and structures and keep them fit for duty:

cent of the $1,100,000,000 total charges of all Class I railroads for costs incident to track maintenance ig "43, the largest single year's expenditure for such purpose in railroad history.

Yet, that colossal sum does not include a single dollar of the huge cost of operating and repairing railroad equipment. On the Pennsylvania Railroad alone, about 46,000 men ate employed in the repair shops, keeping equipment in service. Nor does it include any of the cost of the many other functions essential to complete transportation service.

Such figures indicate how much a railroad must do—and spend —to speed the war effort, to keep the war trains at work, t@ provide the service you need for that essential journey.
