...shunt explosives around on Elwood's 100 miles of track needed, since normal AM reception would be impossible for them, a further refinement. First of these locomotives-and probably the first anywhere-had been equipped last week with a frequency-modulation receiver, loudspeaker and hand phone in the cab...
...locomotive and its load, Elwood's central control room will be able to do the right thing immediately in emergencies. The system saves money by eliminating block signals, with their miles of underground wire.

...tortuous twistings of the Student Union line have been hard enough to follow in the last few years. Last night's flip-flop, one might imagine, should have proved a little difficult for even the most hardened joy-riders in the cab of the famous Locomotive of History. The Executive Committee's report, however, passed with all the ease and speed of a motion to adjourn. The Union found itself unanimously agreed that "the goal of all persons wishing to preserve democracy and the freedom of the peoples of the world must be the military defeat of Hitler...
