ON THE COVER

Southern's new Inman Yard, Atlanta, Ga., as seen from the retarder tower.

Opened in 1957 and costing $15 million, this yard is among the most modern in the country. With the latest in electronic devices, faster and smoother processing of cars is the "order of the day" here as in similar yards at Chattanooga, Birmingham and Knoxville.

(The cover miniature below shows only a part of this month's picture. To do full justice to the panoramic view through the tower windows, the picture was extended onto the back cover.)
