Whilst searching for some tech footage, I ran across this site with many public domain films, including this 20 minute AAR "propaganda film" from the 50s. http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=prelinger&collectionid=36539 It has lots of vignettes including: passenger travel with diner shots scary pre-OSHA manufacturing stuff hump and CTC operations (where?) icing ops Burlington, IC and Rock Islan piggy back loading Mostly Western (S.P., Santa Fe...) and Midwest roads but: one quick shot of the Lake Cities(?) a Lackawanna freight towards the very end, Erie FAs comin' right at you! some NYC lightning stripes and Reading (?) RDCs in there too... a real time capsule! dmg ------------------------------
