Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Atlantic Coast Line, 1830-1930 The pioneer tradition persists. In recent years new rail roads that have stirred the imagination and called to mind the exploits and hardships of the early railroad builders have been constructed into sections as yet undeveloped. But there is other, less spectacular, work that is of even greater importance. Present day transportation demands double track, automatic block signals and train-control, heavy rail, substantial ballast, permanent structures, ade quate terminal facilities, ample modern equipment, and men who are transportation experts; and the Atlantic Coast Line hasbeen a pioneer in providing them. To this progressiveness, that has been a distinguishing characteristic of the Atlantic Coast Line, there has been added the doctrine of sound and conservative business prae tice, and well considered judgment. The result is to be found in a railroad system that furnishes transportation of the highest type to an empire that is still in the making.
