A pretty loony tunes overview of 100 years of the railroad. I mean there's nothing really wacky, it just the presentation of this is pretty amazing. Relic vehicle after relic vehicle are presented in what appears to be a horse race track. Some of these are… I don't know… Is actually a vehicle…??? Great fun! Recommended!!
