ON THE COVER
Southern's streamlined passenger train "New Royal Palm" and the automobile special "Spark Plug," as they head south over C.T.C. double track north of Somerset, Ky.
Maximum use of track capacity is a feature of centralized traffic control and helps dispatchers at control panels miles away from the scene of operations to keep traffic moving toward destination on fast schedules.
It's another of the many improvements made - and being made - by the Southern to give customers what they want.
Such things pay big dividends in better service and more work for us to do.
