MOUNTAIN MONARCHSAcross Colorado's upper Arkansas River valley a spectacular skyline

of surpassing beauty greets the eye of the traveler on Rio Grande's "ScenicLimited." Near Leadville, two snow-crowned monarchs dominate theendless parade of mountains that mark the crest of the towering Conti-nental Divide. They are America's second and third highest peaks—Mt.Elbert (14,431 ft.) and Mt. Massive (14,418 ft.). This is a land of Hercu-lean proportions, of empurpled distances, of magnificent ups and downs.Not many miles to the north on the Royal Gorge Route, mighty mountain-type locomotives pull Rio Grande trains through lofty Tennessee Pass,10,240 feet above sea level, and the highest point reached by any U. S.standard-gauge railroad. In Colorado one gets closer to heaven than any-where else on the American continent. I t 's the mountain state of theUnion, with forty-nine named peaks that soar skyward more than 14,000feet. Your Rio Grande ticket provides you with a front row seat for thisawe-inspiring show of Nature. Mile or. Anile the breath-taking panoramaunfolds—the eternal, scenic splendor o f the rugged Rocky Mountains.

DOING MORE WITH LESSRIO GRANDE is stepping up performance d o i n g the biggest job

in its history w i t h fewer freight and passenger cars and locomotivesthan in 1929. Our 1942 passenger traffic exceeded 1941 by 168 per centOur 1942 freight traffic exceeded 1941 by 51 per cent.

How is this increase in traffic handled with a decrease in equipment?By intense coordination of effort in all departments a n d tireless traffic,operational and engineering research t o develop efficient, time-savingmethods e l i m i n a t i n g unnecessary stops, interference and dead rinse

loading cars and trains heavier c u t t i n g by half the service andturn-around time on locomotives i n c r e a s i n g the efficiency of dieselroad locomotives by using traveling maintainers t h e purchase of afleet of new and more effective steam and diesel road engines—and dieselswitchers to speed yard movements t h e extensive installation of Cen-tralized Traffic Control, new signal systems and passing tracks to increasesingle track capacity to 75 per cent of double track lines t h e installationof more and better communications—teletype and multi-channel telegraphand telephone equipment—to expedite overall operating efficiencyunrelenting improvement of roadbeds and right-of-way u s i n g off-trackwork equipment to eliminate 70 per cent of work train service and effecta comparative reduction in train delays.

This is only a glance at the entire story b u t you'll get the idea.With extensive rehabilitation and improvements a d o p t i o n of moreefficient practices a n t i c i p a t i o n of increased demands on modern trans-portation a n d the backing of a hard-hitting and aggressive manage-ment t h e Rio Grande is forging ahead k e e p i n g pace with thenation's needs. THIS IS PROGRESS!
