PEOPLES" BANK OF CHARLES TOWN, By J. L. MEYERS. President. By H. W. WILIAS, Cashier. -:>,::.:: The American railroads cntered the period of national emergcncy at the highest peak of efficiency in railroad history How did they do it? By spending literally billions of dollars for new equipment and improvements of every kind since they were returned to private ownership after the first World War. As a striking example of railway preparedness, take your own railroad--the Norfolk and Western. For years during depression and prosperity this railroad has followed a progressive policy of "preparing today for the traffic of the future." Since 1930 alone, the N. & W. has spent approxi- mately 8159,000,000 for better railroad service. And this policy of prelmrcdncss is being maintained at a vigorous pace today. During 1940 and 1941. the N & W. authorized these major t)rojccts, many of which are already completed: A 5,000-car increase in track capacity of inland and ocean terminals. New ocean terminal ware- house storage space of 236,558 additional square feet. Purchase and rebuilding (in N. & W. shops) of 18,216 freight cars. Gonstruction of II new freight locomotives and modernization of 19 others. Installation of latest type automatic eignals on hundreds of miles of line. Improved track and roadbed -- laying of 117,000 gross tons of rail, 656,000 crossties, and 642,000 cubic yards of rock ballast. Purchase of new streamlined passenger coaches; construction of streamlined passenger loco- motives, and modernization and conversion of other passenger equipment (in N. & W. shops). Building of branch lines; and the construction and extension of many sidinge to serve industry, defense plants, and military posts. The Norfolk and Wcstcrn Railway was ready for the cmcrgcncy, To(lay, it is meeting the needs of national defensc and expanding industry, efficiently. Today, it is preparing for the future, with l confidence. The Norfolk and Western and its personnel will ht ready for the bigger job ahead, And they will handle tha t job, efficiently,
