SOUTHERN FIGHTS BACK

Southern Railway has undertaken a program of computerization, education and attention to detail in its fight against losses due to theft and vandalism. Management information, including field reports of cars containing the most vulnerable commodities, are used for policing and for determining where and when thefts occur. Education programs are conducted for employees, shippers and consignees to combat theft and for school children to suppress vandalism.
