What about

TRAIN SERVICE TO THE SEASHORE

this Summer?

Train Service to the Seashore is always vital — but never more so than during the busy summer season. l - What effect will the war have upon it in '42 ? This, we realize, is of paramount importance to the people and business interests of the seashore. Hence, this statement . At the Army’s Command We believe .most people know that the Army has first call on the facilities and equipment of the railroads. There is no faster, more dependable way to move troops. In fact, over the past 12 months the railroads have carried more i 3,000,000 soldiers. How Wartime Demands Affect Service to the Shore ^ennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines own only ' ® small number of the cars they operate. Most of their equipment, both for peak-period travel and normal day-to-day service, comes from the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Reading System. Therefore, the extent of service the Pennsyl-

vania-Reading Seashore Lines can provide is measured by the equipment the Pennsylvania and the Reading can allocate to them. Cars of these railroads are in constant and increasing demand by the Armed Forces, while Government and business travel resulting from wartime industrial activity is exceptionally heavy. In consequence, neither the Pennsylvania nor the Reading can spare anything like the number of cars required to handle normal summer shore-bound traffic. What's Ahead in Train Service Train service, as you can see, must be based on the amount of equipment available. The amount available—or procurable—for seashore travel is /ess than one-half that of last summer. So what kind of a schedule can the Seashore Lines provide? This — First, and most important, we plan to operate approximately the same number of regular trains on snmmer schedule as last summer.

Rut, we mi’il discontinue one-dav excursions! HTerlive at once. There is no alternative. What cars remain are barely enough to provide for regular trains. However, through the maintenance and operation of a pre-war summertime schedule of regular trains in wartime days, the railroads will continue to bring a large and substantial holiday and vacation business to the seashore. Also, summer residents will be able to commute as usual. The government recognizes rest, relaxation and. recreation as important in an all-out war effort. The Railroads wish to provide every facility for recreational travel, within limits permitted by wartime demands. Therefore, you can count on them to spare no effort to foster that end. Available equipment will be so operated as to make the maximum use of every car. Nonetheless, we all must recognize that winning the war comes first—and in this, railroads play a constantly enlarging part.
