CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF ITS PLANS
FOR THE NEW YEAR
The Central of Georgia Railway, in reviewing the year about to close, is pleased
to report a substantial increase in its traffic. This satisfactory situation reflects the
improved conditions in thejiemtory we ser ve, the states of Georgia and Alabama. But
better crops and better prices are not the o nly factors in heavier railway traffic, and
not every railroad has enjoyed increased business.
The Central of Georgia believes that its greater volume of business is due in large
part to the friendly feeling that the people of our territory have for the railroad. We
appreciate, beyond expression, the many evi dences of this friendship that we continually
receive. We recognize the obligation under which this places us. We fully understand
that it is our duty to reciprocate by the best service in our power.
In making grateful acknowledgement of our indebtedness to the public for its sup
port and co-operation, we are glad to tell of our plans for 1925. Satisfactory service
depends largely upon ample equipment. The Central of Georgia has been a liberal
purchaser of new equipment, annually, fora number of years past, It has just placed
orders fox additional cars and motive- power. -as- f ol h^w sr -
ID engines,
500 box cars,
100 flat cars,
1 0 cabooses,
6 steel passenger cars.
Plans are now being worked out for the installation of additional block signals,
ra ‘J W 3 aSt ' ng S reater icin S facilities, more yard, side and passing tracks,
u ’
improved bridges, j extension of'long distance telephones, enlarged engine-house
tures, and of grades. All of struc
revision these things contribute to efficient and depend
able operation.
Our present equipment—cars and engines—is in the best condition of history,
the thing of all our
same is true other facilities. For the coming year our patrons will
nna me k.entrai of Georgia strengthened in every way. capable of handling
usiness than before, and prepared more
ever to do its work promptly and well.
An indispensable factor of satisfactory service is an organization of employes
ager to serve the public. The 10,000 members of the Central of Georgia "family”
unite m pledging their best efforts to meet the increased demands that will be made
upon them in 1925.
E ch of th ei ? W |N carf y * nt ° the New Year the “true holiday spirit of mutual
understanding, . . , 1 helpfulness,
„ fair play and optimism. All of them join
isn tor Happy Christmas in the sincere
a and in the confident expectation of a Prosperous New
ear to the shippers and passengers who use the Central of Georgia Railway.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
