Conditions Of Progress

“If a railroad is efficiently to serve a country,” said President Crowley in closing an address at the recent Centenary celebrations of the New York Central Railroad, “it must not only keep young, but grow stronger year after year. A railroad that is not growing is dying. Obsolescence will strangle it. To carry the great traffic of to-day with the equipment and facilities of only ten years ago would be impossible. And it would be just as impossible to carry the greater traffic of ten years hence with the present facilities and equipment. The greatest factor to-day in the success of a railroad and its hope for the future, lies in co-operation—co-operation between the Management and the employees and co-operation between the railroad and the public it serves.”

Be inspired with the belief that life is a great and noble calling, not a mean and grovelling thing that we are to shuffle through as we can, but an elevated and lofty destiny.
