My division of the Northern Pacific owns all the locomotives it has! We are indepted to NO banker! Although it is difficult to keep up with motive power demands, at times, the division superviser has been directed by Mr. Hill not to borrow a single "buck" to purchase motive power! We attempt to keep older units in tip-top condition and usable when traffic demands warrent placing this equipment in service! <br /> <br />Does this mean we are keeping up with the times and technology of this wonderous year of 1953? Mr. Hill states; "He don't give a rip"! He wants all the profit so he can keep that other line "The Goat", up north o'here functioning (even though it bleeds money like a "stuck pig [er, goat])! <br /> <br />Who can argue with Mr. Hill's success? Even though his refusal to install stokers has literally worked a few firemen to death, he says they're cheap labor and it's easy to get some dumb brakemen to jump at the chance to ride the cab where it's warm, in the -40 below winters in western Montana!
