what i wouldn't mind them showing on t v especially for those people who never think much about mail roads or and for railroads how would you move large equipment across the country like that for instance by something about ninety percent of all in the city military by the railroad watch more of the same pay the railroads less to move that ninety percent and of course the remaining ten don't forget exp the railroads pick up and deliver over three hundred fifty thousand expense packages a day kelly i'm going to look up costs here and say you know i've been thinking about that remark you made a few minutes ago about railroads out kelly ok anyway stick around you might find it interesting nation's rail traffic and even know a type of power being tested all the time right along with the new motor power you can talk about the advances in average added power made faster heavier trains possible advantage on average make a practice the force it takes to stop a freight train going sixty miles an hour would be enough to lift that whole train ten stories and that's a lot of how many people realize that with a simple movement of a single lever an engineer can put that kind of force into action with just one lever he has complete positive control of the longest and heaviest freight train on the greater regularity in the panda biology yet with greater safety than ever before because of the big advances made in the signal systems with today's modern systems trains can automatically control signals behind them following trains going in the media and clear picture of conditions ahead the wayside signals a duplicated in locomotive caps regardless of outside conditions the engine man always has a clear vision of the signals which ride with him in the cab nowadays to weight train traffic to move with greater speed and safety over a single track systems than ever before line because train traffic can be handled by signals over hundreds of miles of track from a remote tower by a single man like he was the location of that we train simply flipping levers you can put trains on side new track laying methods grades reduce the limb unaided so that goods and people move more smoothly and faster than ever before this t v program ought to have a story on modern passenger so how many people know that they can enjoy the same company on trains in their own living rooms and the same kind of safety  tonight we bring you another in a series of public service programs featuring the american private businesses upon which our whole way of living depicts this is a story which begins in the research centers on laboratories of railroads railroad associations universities engineering societies and in the research facilities of thousands of suppliers and manufacturers it's this is the story of the advancing rail it's an important story for no matter who you are where you are or what you do the railroads influence your life and the way you lips tonight we present the story of the nation's railroads a story happening other businesses and the welfare of the nation's people have been always will depend heavily upon the railroads continuing to operate as a private continuing to advance continuing with these advances and as private businesses to help keep the nation prosperous and times of strong in times of emergency under a free and enterprising system of business operation the railroads can serve
