ment; the Baltimore e. Ohio, the
Pennsylvania, the Southern, the
Chesapeake & Ohio, the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Seaboard Air
Line. Traffic for the last two lines Is
hauled by the R. F. e. P. TO Rich
mond, where their tracks begin.
For all of the foregoing reasons
and many others, too-it can readily
be seen how potential enemies of the
United States would contemplate
Potomac Yard with watery mouths.
Restrictions have recently been
placed on visiting the great city of
tracks, guards are constantly on
the alert, but hoboeS and proWlers
still find their way in by one means
or another. Only this winter a man
was arrested in the yard who called
himself a shoe salesman from Bos-
ton A camera was found upon
him and sizable collection Of pic
lures of other United States railroad
yards. He was later released, but a
full report on him was quickly
turned over to the F. B. I.
Several years ago a Japanese who
said he was representative of
Nippon railways was granted per-
mission by virtue of reciprocal cour-
tesy to inspect the yard. After a
brief tour he came back into the
administration Office, sat down at a
desk and drew in a very few min
utes what was described by officials
as "a most accurate and complete
plan of the whole yard" In Oriental
fashion he then thanked his hosts
very politely, put on his hat and
went.
Most closely watched portions of
the yard are the power station
which, if necessary, can generate
current for all yard uses-and the
access to the yard by way of the
adjoining Potomac River. And, al
though it does not come within the
yard proper, Long Bridge, the tenu-
GUS artery which keeps the whole
yard alive and functioning, is
guarded by the railroads with more
concern than any chick-loving hen
could ever engender.
To know more about the big claS-
sifcation yard, however, let's &c
back to MD-13, the early-morning
freight from New England.
1t has been made up throughout
the preceding day of cars from a
number of Northern cities. Very
likely there are several cars from
Maine, bearing wood products and
other manufactured articles; cars
from Massachusetts, laden with
everything from canned vegetables
to frozen fish and textiles, cars from
industrial Connecticut and Rhode
Island and from the greatest of al
reshipment centers, New York City

to be made as long as the Air Corps
continues to order that particular
model and up until the time a newer
design renders it obsolete.
Thus, the designing and building
of new warplanes is a continuing
process, and even while the present
models, now revolutionary in them
selves, are rolling off the production
lines, even more modern and pos
sibly more revolutionary designs are
following them through the various
