RAILROADING has always been regarded as
a mans calling.
But when war reached deeply into railroad ranks
taking from the Pennsylvania Railroad alone
more than 44,ooo skilled and experienced workers
for the Armed Foroes-women were employed to
help keep trains rolling.
p Today, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, approxi-
matey y 900 women serving in wide variety of

Positions such as trainmen, ticket sellers, train
passenger representatives, ushers, information and
reservation personnel call for intelligence courtesy
and high degree of efficiency. Young women fresh
fom college and high sohool-after intensive training
have proved they can fill these roles capaby.

Job railroads have ever been called upon to do,

read the following citation:
"At midnight, in heavy storm,
the S. S. Uruguay Capt. Spaulding's
ship with 4,700 troops aboard, was
rammed by tanker in the same
convoy-creating a gaping hole 70
feet wide and from keel to A deck.
Thirteen soldiers were killed in the
crash and more than so injured SOL
diers were trapped in the wreckage.
Capt. Spaulding and his first
officer (Chief Mate Spencer Pardoe
who already has received the Dis
tinguished Service Medal, with
complete disregard for their own
safety, descended into the damaged
area and succeeded in rescuing the
injured and trapped men,"
The action was carried out in
darkness and the two officers were
constantly in danger of being
washed overheard through the hole
and exposed to possible electrocution
from live wires.
