Excerpt from Winter Track Work
As no one knows so little of a battle as the private in the ranks who sees only his individual part in it, so we, who are daily workers, realize less than onlookers, the swift changes taking place all around us; the astonishing progress in the world of transportation, and in the world outside of transportation.
The Trackman is getting the best out of this progress without knowing it. He must accept the responsibilities as well as the benefits of the betterments of modern life. He must continually strive to know his trade better, to learn and practice improved ways of doing his work. He must study ways of getting the best results out of the company's dollar.
