Passenger Trainmaster Urges
Stronger Efforts to Keep
Schedule Time
Strong appeals are being made to j
the passenger men of the Middle
division to put forth every effort to
improve passenger train service. L. ,
L. Banks, passenger trainmaster. \
has called attention to the delays
at stations. He has had the fol
lowing posted at all stations:
"The unsatisfactory performance
of passenger trains is bringing forth
a great deal of unfavorable criti
cism.
"The regional director is watch- |
ing the movement closely and con
stantly insisting upon an 'on time" i
performance.
"While the greater portion of the |
delays results from engine failure, it
is possible in many cases to make j
up enough of the lost time by I
speeding up the work at stations
to at least make schedule time with j
the train. To accomplish this the !
conductor must personally supervise '■
the work at stations and see that
even one second of time 'is not lost I
unnecessarily. In every case where
the flagman is back he should bo I
called at such time as will permit
him to reach the train by the time 1
the work is completed."
Please note following letter from j
general superintendent on the sub- i
ject of passenger train perform- i
ance:
"The performance of passenger j
trains is receiving the personal and j
constant attention of the regional ,
director. The attitude taken in this t
matter is a positive insistance upon
an 'On time' performance. It is j
essential, therefore, that you and j
your organization carefully analyze !
every delay and take such immedi- j
ate action as will result in the
elimination of avoidable delays in i
the future.
"We cannot impress upon you too \
strongly the absolute necessity of 1
every member of your organization j
responsible for the performance of (
passenger trains, becoming active
ly interested in this matter.
"This includes your station forces,
such as agents. baggage agents,
baggagemasters, the handling of
mail and express, etc."
