Southern Railway Belongs to the People of the South
A Louisville speech argues that the Southern Railway System is a public service and a regional asset. It notes 103 million annual revenue with 70.6 cents of each dollar spent remaining in the South, supporting wages, materials, taxes, and local banks, and paying school and road taxes. The speaker cites Will Wilson Finley and Thomas M. and John W. Thomas Jr. as exemplars of public-spirited railroad leadership. The speaker urges Southern pride and local-backed governance, inviting citizens to invest trust and cooperation.
