TheMlW Santa Fe Trail A report on some of Santa Fes newest milestones by the President of the Santa Fe In 1963, Santa Fe is investing some 90 million dollars on new equipment and improvements. All this money is being used to keep the Santa Fe up-to-date in every way. As a matter of fact, so many new and exciting things are happening on the Santa Fe today that some people are calling it "The New Santa Fe Trail." Here are just a few highlights of the many improvements: • 2548 new boxcars. • 500 Mechanical Temperature Control cars. • 550 covered hopper cars. • 194 double and triple deck autoveyors. • 181 flat cars. • 58 new diesel locomotives. • 24 hi-level passenger cars. • 31 semi-lightweight mail and baggage cars. • Increasing our microwave communications system to 2064 route miles. • Experimenting with new and more efficient freight cars such as compartmentalized cars for automobile parts. • Advancing our piggy-back operations to include joint rail-truck rates. And we haven't been standing still up until now. We've invested over a billion dollars in progress since World War II. For example: • The new cut-off line into Dallas. • Major line relocations in Arizona. • Equipped 3560 new freight cars with "Shock Control" devices for damagefree shipment of fragile freight. (More of these cars are on order.) • Equipped 7745 freight cars with roller bearings. • Designed and built the first multi-level automobile transport cars — the autoveyors— which are now used by all major railroads. To keep pace with changing times and with the rapid growth of the areas we serve, we keep constantly on the move toward a better way to serve you and to strengthen a vital part of our national defense. It is our aim to keep the Santa Fe Trail always new. THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA AND SANTA FE RAILWAY COMPANY 168 BROADCASTING, March 25, 1963
