Staff Meeting Scheduled

The P & N's annual traffic staff meet-
ing is scheduled to be held at the Hotel
Charlotte in Charlotte December 28-30,
it was announced recently by L. R. Law-
son, vice president and traffic manager.

The meeting will be attended by traf-
fic representatives from both on-line and
off-line points, selected agency person-
nel, and officials of the executive, trans-
portation, and accounting departments.
In all, approximately 40 persons will at-

and service matters.

In the 20-year period 1934-1953 the
railroads of the United States invested
$13,876 million of new capital in im-
provements to their property. Of this
sum, $4,679 million was for improve-
ments in roadway, terminals, yards,
buildings, bridges, signals and other
fixed properties and $9,197 million was
for improved locomotives, cars and roll-

If all the railway track in this county
were extended in a single line and a train
were to start at one end and travel at a
speed of a mile a minute -- night and day
without stopping -- it would take 280 days
to reach the other end of the track.
