Buchanan, 1857. IF we should have a war the Union Pacific Railroad— next to the Navy and the Panama Canal —will be the greatest single material factor in a successful defense of our Western Coast. Double track, perfect road¬bed, low grades, slight curves, automatic block signal system and the finest physical equip¬ment on the western roads will prove invaluable for the expeditious passage of troops and munitions. This road—built for a military purpose—fortunately never has had a military test, but it is ready for such a test. All of the factors which will make the Union Pacific effi¬cient in war are just as useful in times of peace. Travelers and shippers are acquainted with the facts which make this "The Standard Road of the West " UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM Joins East and West with a Boulevard of Steel GERRIT FORT Passenger Traffic Manager CHICAGO, ILL. |
