Research: Ace card in the RR hand p. 9
Railroads can't pinch pennies on research if they are to survive, Faricy tells AREA convention. AAR has kept its research budget intact in spite of a sharp decline in revenues. It will build a new science laboratory at Illinois Institute of Technology within the next two years. Other convention speakers emphasized the need for a unified approach to research.
BLE chief urges rail diversification p.10
Guy Brown has come out strongly in favor of integrated railhighway-air-water transportation. Disagreeing sharply with some of his fellow unionists, he thinks "department store" transportation would send railroad employment up-not down.
The happy team-up of the B&M and the RDC:
How to harness passenger costs p.14
More than 90% of the Boston & Maine's passenger miles will be produced by the workhorse Budd cars in 1958. They haven't erased the passenger deficit. But B&M men shudder at the thought of the losses without them.
Rapid servicing keeps RDCs rolling p.25
To get the use out of the Budd fleet that the B&M does, rapid turnarounds are vital. Here's how the schedules are maintained-and how a new service building fits into the operation.
Clinchfield takes three steps to cut M/W costs p.30
A ten-year-old campaign on this 276-mile line through southern mountains has whipped the property into tip-top shape. The program: rehabilitation of facilities, reorganization of work forces, and mechanization.
PFE's new cars will work east or west p.34
Rolling off the assembly line are 1,000 dual range mechanical reefers. They're built to serve two ways, as deep-freeze or medium-cold cars. And they're fitted with wide doors to handle standard lading on westward moves.
It's time to end transport discrimination p.47
The continuing OUTRAGE-Why does free enterprise mean one thing for the self-supporting railroads and something entirely different for the brothers-in-subsidy: truck, barge and air lines?
Action Page-You have to make them like you p.78
Nothing defeats like defeat. So, if they are to succeed in winning new legislation, the railroads must win popularity and confidence at the grass roots level. Dramatic, positive strides like the West- ern lines' new freight schedules are just what's needed.
