Wheels that have made it possible for Canada to grow in strength. Today those wheels -the driv- ing wheels of Canada's railways - are setting the pace for the war effort, They haul raw materials to humming war industries and rush away the finished tools of battle. They move food and fuel for the home front and the fighting front. They speed civilians on essential business, hasten troops to camps, embarkation points and on leave. It's Canada's big war job. A job that only railway wheels can do. A job in which an army of 150,000 WAR EF `onT railway workers, men and women, is in. the fight for Canada :.: shop crews and train crews, yard workers, section hands, telegra- phers, signal men and office workers, a multitude of men and women in a multitude of jobsi They are making the giant wheels -turn faster and faster. From coast to coast in Canada, we -your railways -are rolling in the service of freedom, and our lines to and in the United States have linked the war efforts of two great sister nations. The railway wheels are drivw ing, in war as in peace, for Canada.

Prairie Rim One of the fastest trains Of its kind en the continent, the Canadian Pacific Railway's gas - electric No. 340 burns up 41.64 miles of right-ofsway between Regina and Moose Jaw daily ex- cept Sunday in 55 minutes flat- and it makes four stops en scute. Familiarly known as the "Gal- loping Goose", No. 340 is a com- bination of engine, baggage, ex- press mail and passenger car all roller{ into one -- a particularly valuable feature these days when emlaervatiOn of power and equip - Mont is a vital necessity. The self-contained train, whose performance has been highly lauded by American railroad ex- perts, leaves IVfoose Jaw at 6.45 a,ln. and ]lulls into Regina depot just 55 minutes later. It back in Moose Jaw again at 10.30 the salve morning. The train does "local" work between stations en - route, but because of its light weight and ready acceleration it soon makes up for time thus lost. No. 340 hits its real stride be- tween Pasqua and Belle Plaine. On this 10.3 -Milo straight -of - way'. the train hits an average speed of 61.8 iniles per hour to cover the distance in an even 10 minutes. Transcontinental trains actually equal that time on the salve stretch but without slowing down for local stops.. Like other gas -electric units operating on short runs, No.340 was designed to give frequent local service where operation of heavy trains would not pay. Inas- much Ile they elnr maintain se satls£actOry schedules with equal speed, safety and comfort they have proven themselves . comfort, popular with all sections Ulf the travelling public, • bided a musical background.
