Rail Operations Resumed -- Railroad switchmen A.E. Smithwick (left), and J.W. Creel start clearing out a jam of long-idle freight cars in the Inman Yards here this morning. Freight movement through this southern rail center returned to near normal as 1,500 "sick" switchmen suddenly recovered and reported to work. In background at right, smoke rises from locomotives being fired up in preparation for their return to service.
