ON THE COVER
Another landmark of progress on the Southern that means better service for the Southern's customers. Ernest Norris Yard at Birmingham is in service.
Throughout this issue of Ties readers will find many other pictures taken in the 500-acre tract of what was formerly farm and woodland and what is now the South's greatest and most modern freight classification yard. There is also a story about how we use the yard.
The money spent at Ernest Norris Yard is representative of the kind of capital expenditures that the Southern makes from its own earnings in the interest of customers and employees.
It is part of the great story of progress on the Southern, the story that enables all of us to say with pride, "I work on the Southern."
