Today is Saturday, so I feel like I can run a bit long. And there’s been one thing missing from this series to date: trains. I’m sure at least some of my readers are train fans, right?
“On the Track”, a 1940s film made by Carl Dudley for the Association of American Railroads. Mr. Dudley was apparently a fairly well known railroad film maker.
Bonus video #1: from 1952, “Northwest Empire”, a Union Pacific promo film about travel around Oregon and Washington.
Bonus video #2: “At This Moment”, from 1954. Propaganda film about the importance of American railroads.
I have to admit: “Kelly” is kind of cute in that 1950s way. I can see why someone would send her a dozen roses.
