Copyright 1959 9th edition
20 pages Association of American Railroads
For nearly a century the American railroads, large and small, have been working together with a view to providing the public with the best possible transportation service. Their cooperative effort has included the standardization of gauge and equipment, the adoption of a uniform code of operating rules, a uniform plan for the interchange of freight cars, joint rates and fares, and numerous other arrangements without which there could be no through schedules, billings or services.
The story of the adoption by the railroads of Standard Time, told in the following pages, strikingly illustrates the benefits of cooperative action on the part of the railway industry. Although the lives and habits of people everywhere are regulated by Standard Time, few persons are aware that it was through the efforts of the American railroads, working together to improve their services, that this orderly method of reckoning and keeping time was introduced nearly three-quarters of a century ago.
The work of standardization and coordination of railway operations which began many years ago is carried on today through various branches of the Association of American Railroads. Railroad men are constantly working together on scores of research and standardization projects involving equipment, materials and methods-all for the purpose of effecting economies and increasing the efficiency and safety of railway operations.
