The second in a series of vintage railroading films from the 1940s and 1950s.
Volume 2 contains five promotional films that will delight railroad enthusiasts
of all ages! Both steam and early diesel power are featured in these rare
glimpses of an earlier time. These advertising films helped promote awareness
in the minds of the American public about the value railroads played in their
daily lives. Take a nostalgic journey back to those former days with these
historic films:

Song of the Pioneer. Relive the earliest days of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad with exciting footage of streamlined C&NW passenger trains. Color. 22
Minutes.

The Railroad Story. This rare film tells the dramatic story of Illinois
railroads, with footage of over 12 different systems. See CB&Q F-units, Wabash
PAs, Nickel Plate Geeps, passenger and freight operations, Korean War troop
trains, and more. Color. 23 Minutes.

A Railroad at Work. In this Milwaukee Road PR film produced in the late 1940s,
you'll experience crack passenger trains, hard-working freights, solid ore
trains, and streamlined, steam-powered Hiawathas. B&W. 26 Minutes.

Opening a New Frontier. Follow a piggyback truck trailer from start to finish
on a high-speed run from Chicago to New York. This show is about the latest
innovations brought to rail service in 1955. B&W. 13 Minutes.

Rolling the Freight. Centered around C&NW's giant Proviso Yard, this film shows
how freight was moved in the late steam era of the 1940s. You'll see hump yard
switching, freight handling, and car loading plus run-bys with both steam and
early diesel powered freights. B&W. 29 Minutes.
