ON THE COVER
The miniature covers - one from each of the ten years in which TIES has been published - appear on the cover this month to mark the tenth anniversary of TIES.
A picture of the world's first 1500-hp diesel-electric road freight locomotive appeared on the cover of the first issue of TIES in March, 1947. From there on the parade of cover pictures skips a year and a month each time-April, 1948, May, 1949, and so on through December, 1956.
The 120 issues of TIES to date have recorded an eventful ten years of growth and progress in which the men and women of Southern Railway have had a full share.
