The Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad, whose So miles of tracks
stretch between Alexandria, Rosslyn
and Purcellville. observes its Tooth
and possibly most successful year
this year.
The line is supported chiefly by
freight receipt and today boasts
two new 65-ton Whitcomb locomo-
tives, three Alton locomotives less
than 5 years old and three recon-
ditioned passenger cars, two of
which also carry mail.
This comprises the present-day
equipment operated by the COM
pany, as contrasted to the broken
down trolley line it represented in
1886 when Davis Elkins purchased
the line and took it out of the hands
of receivers, according to G. C.
Baggett, vice president and general
manager.
"The first thing we had to do in
1886 was to start purchasing Diesel
equipment" Mr.. Baggett said. He
explained that cars on the line at
that time were electrically operated.
Electric Equipment Disposed Of.
AL of our equipment now is op-
Grated by Diesel engines. Electrically
operated cars are too expensive for
a small line" he explained, point
ing out that the company had to
operate number of expensive
booster" stations in order to supply
sufficient current along the line.
Once the electric equipment was
done away with the company began
to operate in the black and has
continued to grow more successful
ever since.
Were not looking for too much
profit right now," Mr.. Baggett added.
He said the company is continuing
to put money into more and better
equipment.
Typical of the length of service
that a large number of w. & o. DIS
trainmen have put in with the COM
pany Is the 27-year employment
record Of Foster Ormsbee, 1902 Lee
highway, Arlington, who is an engi-
neer on the passenger run between
Rosslyn and Purcellville.
This is practically the only COM
pany ever worked for" Mr.. Orms-
bee commented. He recalled that
when he first went to work as a bag
gage master the railroad was more
like trolley line"
I'VE used to handle about 200 or
300 passengers day years ago." Mr.
Ormsbee continue. Now we think
we're lucky If we handle co."
rs Years With Company.
G. E. Legge of 17o5 North Oak
street, Arlington, who has been with
w. g. o. D. 26 years, never. worked
anywhere else.
II came to work for the line when
I was 16 and was just out of school" "
he said. He first worked as a power
house operator while electric trolleys
were still used on the line. He is
now a conductor. Mr.. Legge said
many of the men who work on the
trains have been with the company
around Is years.

Fellowship Urges
Loss Restitution

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.-The
Pacific Southwest Regional Con-
ference of the Fellowship of Re-
Cancellation, in session recently in
Chapman College, Los Angeles,
Cal, went on record as follows:
Although realizing that the
spiritual and psychological losses
suffered by persons of japanese
ancestry during their evacuation
from the western defense COM
mand far exceed financial ones,
we, nevertheless, realize that the
latter are the only losses that can
be assessed for in any sense re-
paid.
Therefore. we most strongly
urge that the next session of Con-
gress make funds available for
adequate restitution of financial
losses suffered by the evacuees.
