To those traveling down the shady side of the hill, the words of the English poet, William Wordsworth, come frequently to mind, as we view the changing chang-ing scene. Said he, "The things I once have seen,, I now can see no more." This simple statement of fact bobbed up again, the other day, when I perceived an item in the "Business News", section of a Utah daily paper. The story was . headlined "Rio Grande Railroad plans to discontinue' 'Prospector. " L ; The first paragraph of the item stated that the.D & R G is posting notices of. intent to discontinue its Denver-Salt Lake City overnight passenger train the Prospector effective Jan. 8, 1967. The reasons given were specifically two the ever ' increasing cost of labor and the falling away of passenger revenue. rev-enue.

Many a time when winter storms and slippery roads made . travel by automobile hazardous the Little Woman and I have boarded the . train in Provo. Thus we were able to cross the summit in safety on the trip to visit relatives and friends in Price. . f Of course, with a vote-conscious government in Washington, Washing-ton, the railroad companies have had little control over rising union labor wages. However, How-ever, the continual falling away of passenger patronage .was. something else again. .

Meals are free on the airplanes, air-planes, while on passenger trains a decent snack costs about three times the price of the same thing at a good cafe or restaurant. - On the plane, tipping Is held to a minimum or is conspicuous by' its absence. Oh the train, the general policy has been, "no tip, no service." Airplane employees are younger, youn-ger, more courteous and better educated in public relations. On the trains, especially with the elderly conductors, it's the old policy of the .''public be damned.'' - ":v A tew of the railroads are ' waking up. Some are even providing pro-viding good-looking and courteous cour-teous stewardesses. Some are serving free meals and free pillows for their hungry and travel-weary customers. And wonder of wonders, the companies who are providing the better services are running in the black with their passenger passen-ger trains. V- . Perhaps the newer innova-. tion in passenger treatment is coming too late to save the Prospector. There is also talk that the Chicago-San, Francisco "California Zephyr" may soon be discontinued. If this happens the Rio Grande will have no passenger service between Salt Lake City and Colorado. Also train rides for Pleasant Grove school children from Provo to Salt Lake City, will , be a thing of the past There is such a thing as progress pro-gress in reverse.
