ON THE COVER
One of the most important parts of any railroad rolling stock is, of course, the wheels. Recognizing this, railroaders have steadily improved the quality of wheels, with the help of manufacturers in the supply industry, and work done in all wheel shops always was and is done to the best of the abilities of workmen and the tools with which the could be supplied
One of the outstanding example of how a modern railroad puts a new technology to work on this important railroad job is Southern's Coster Wheel Shop.
