A railroad is a complex organization, every part of which must function properly and dovetail with every other part to produce a transportation service such as the public has come to expect of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Every class of the employes, from the executive and administrative groups on down, has its part to perform to keep the wheels moving." (Page 15)
