Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans In holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth.' By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."
