This question is starting many a conversation in cross-country sleep- ers and chair cars these days, now that people have begun to return: to the railways. "Why, I haven't been on a train, for --let's see--must be 16 years," says one woman in the reduced-rate sleep- er, "Not since I came to California to live. Of course I've made trips to the national parks and to San Fran- cisco, but always by automobile. "I can beat that", says a man a- cross the aisle, "This is my first train I've been around quite a bit in that time, too, in my coupe. "This summer I decided to go back to Iowa where I lived as a boy and 1 thought it would be easier to go by train. Rates aren't so high any more, and driving is hard work on a long trip." This sounded interesting to the travelling reporter who was listening in. Could it be true that most of the passengers on this reduced-fare train were people who had quit the rail- roads years ago and were just coming back? She began asking everybody she met the same queston: "How long since YOU have been on a train?" Popular Fancy Caught Streamlining and air-conditioning have caught the popular attention. Railroads are making news these days. Families are reading about new trains almost every day. The next step is to plan trips--long trips. It is an interesting fact that the new low-cost services which the rail- roads are. offering this summer are bringing out the stay-at-home cus- tomers, Many suppose that im- proved day coaches and lower fares on the railroads draw business "chiefly from the bus lines. ) - Similar Answers The answers came with surprising regularity. "My first train ride in 11 years" "in nine years" .. "in 10 years." For the children, this train trans- portation was in practically every case a new experience. "Baby's first train ride?" the reporter mother by way of starting a conver- sation, "Yes, and mine; -too," laughed the young woman. A young couple on a two- wooks vacation explained why they _had ling by automobile. A two-weeks trip || from California to Illinois by car would have meant strenuous diving] for the husband; the train gave him a chance for complete relaxation. So the story goes, told over and over with slight variations but with the same theme. These people quit travelling on trains long before tht depression, and now they have- come back. - Why? . Returning prosperity no doubt has something to do with it, but by no means everything. Low rates on the railroads have something to do with| it, but then the bus companies have been offering low rates for some years and the people did not use the bus lines. One big factor would appear to be the increased interest that has been aroused in the modern develop- ment in equipment and service, mf 'The FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHER' By ALFRED BIGGS Thoughts are deathleas.
