Certainly all railroad men do. For even when you work every day on the railroad, the glamor of engines and trains and tracks never dies out. In this little booklet we take you behind the scenes on Southern Pacific showing you how to tell our locomotives apart and what the signs and signals mean. There is a good reason for every sign, signal, rule and regulation on Southern Pacific, and most of them are based on safety. "Safety First" is drilled into every one of us from the very first day we start in the service. You may think of a railroad in terms of trains and tracks. Actually the Southern Pacific Company is 60,000 men and women. The trains and tracks are only the tools with which we work. For example, a locomotive is simply a machine controlled by men. These men know that hundreds of people on the train behind are depending upon them for a comfortable trip, smooth starts and stops. They take more pride in doing this job well than you can possibly imagine, unless you've been an engineer yourself.
