Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Railway Age 1957 July 15 Line changes Earthmoving todays biggest bargain Railway Age 1957 July 15 Passenger business is booming p. 8 Summer travel has been heavy thus far, say western railroad men, and prospects for the rest of the season are excellent. Barring the unexpected, 1957 passenger revenues during the vacation travel months should surpass the figures for the comparable 1956 period. RRs achieve wage 'stabilization' p. 9 More than two years of relative labor peace-on wage issues, at least-await the nation's railroads as a result of wage agreements reached with the brotherhoods over the past eight months. This will permit management to plan ahead for improvements with definite knowledge of future wage patterns. Earthmoving machines strike hard at rising costs p.20 The average cost of moving a yard of earth is no higher than it was 30 years ago-thanks to phenomenal advances in the productiveness of earthmoving machinery. Railroads can, therefore, justify expenditures for line-improvement projects that otherwise would be out of reach financially. PRR puts more starch in box car underframes p.34 Something new in freight-car design-diagonal crossbearers in the underframes of 50-ft double-door box cars-has gone into 1,600 new cars recently completed at the road's Rea shops. Theory is that car bodies will be kept square and that the possibility of floor buckling will be eliminated. How to handle 50,000 Boy Scouts: 'Be prepared' p.38 Latest demonstration of the railroads' ability to move large masses of people in a hurry is taking place this week in Valley Forge, Pa., where 50,000 Boy Scouts are gathered for their Fourth National Jamboree. About two-thirds of the scouts came by rail, and when they start home trains again will do most of the job. How to generate railroad traffic p.58 As railroads move to pull out of the retail and local transportation business, their economic superiority for the really heavy-volume, mass-movement business will become more and more evident.
