Time to warm up this thread.

1955 American Railroads - "Big Trains Rolling"

See:
"An industry film by the Association of American Railroads which examines how the US railroads keep the economy growing by providing transportation and employment. Features trains from many different railroads including Southern Pacific, Santa Fe & Western Maryland."

I hope you enjoy it.
