A combination of the Redwood train film we first saw in the North Western Rail Line film, nothing has changed. The Governor is still screwing in nuts, still checking the time and still ogling the pretty girl they brought in the christen the train. And that train still moves at 2 miles an hour. They¡¯ve bookmarked the scenes with some somewhat interesting lumbermill footage from them olden days. Meh.
