★★★★★ · LET'S ALL SMOKE TOGETHER · Spuzz · 2020-03-15
REALLY good exploration of all things train, from the stockyards to the fancy dancy first class! (shine your shoes?), no narration, just music and some cards, this is a great transport to another time for sure! This is a MUST SEE on this site!
★★★ · A "Movietone Magic Carpet" ride to New York City · pcornelius · 2014-11-24
Pictorial treatment of passenger service on the New York Central, including the 20th Century Limited before it got the famous Raymond Loewy streamliner treatment. Note Railway Post Office operations, ice being loaded into the clerestory ventilators, and at 7.50 a shot of an attractive young lady passenger in a sheer nightgown. Title cards, music, one spoken line — “Board!” from the conductor.
