"Set 'em up" "Set 'em up" Like an eager dog on a leash, the train waits at the station—impatient to start its long transcontinental run. The carman swings his lantern from side to side above his head. There's a swish of air as the engineer sees the signal to "set 'em up." That's railroad language meaning "test air brakes". ... one of the many Union Pacific safety operations. Over its "strategic middle route," uniting the East with the Pacific Coast, Union Pacific transports thousands of service men and women. Carloads of materials and supplies are shipped, east and west, to home-front markets and ocean ports. It's a tremendous job but despite the problems of manpower and maintenance it is being accomplished with remarkable efficiency. By putting the brakes on unwise personal spending, by buying war bonds and saving them, we can help guard against depression, keep the wheels of industry running, and the avenues of opportunity open for individual enterprise and initiative.
