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.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

As a railfan, I would really appreciate it if you would consider posting the full DVD - the Pentrex stuff is first rate!

Any chance?? Thanks!!

You are welcome. I probably wont post the DVD. I don't want to seed forever and it seems like hardly anyone wants what i posted already.

If you just want it in DVD format ConvertXtoDVD does a good job.

I may post other rail videos if i cant find torrent for them. It just seems that these aren't being downloaded.

Please Seed. I'm stuck at 31.5%

Thanks

I will seed again. I am sorry that you are stuck. It certainly hasn't been for lack of my seeding.

Please give at least as much as you have taken.

Not very many comments on these railroading videos. Is anyone interested in any more like this? I have some more but it appears that these aren't as popular as i had thought they would be.

Keep em coming. I love these train movies. I think a lot of people will download them but it will ake time for people to find them. But their is such a lack of these kind of videos that it is a void that demands to be filled.

So thanks a LOT for this. What else do you got?

Great video but I cannot see it yet as I am stuck at 48% and there are no seeders, please seed!

StatswitdaGats at 2011-10-10 22:47 CET:

Thanks XeroxAlto for sharing these, my kids can't get enough!!
