Although plagued with low sound levels, this was a fun film telling about the many transportation offerings for cargo in the 1950s. After poopooing such transport as air and truck, this film finally admits that rail is the way to go! Fun scenes as we see some advancements in trainriding and some less then thrilled (but immacutely dressed!) passengers.
