Give me steam locomotives or give me DEATH!

Thanks for sharing this clip, BK. Lots of good rail action, and did folks notice the ATLAS inspired signals?

Oh, and nice sailboat. Pirate

'35 Chevy film with trains and pre-war Lionel

Jim Hediger over at Model Railroader just sent me this link to a video of a 1935 Chevy auto safety film that talks mostly about railroads and has a neat head-on collision on a prewar Lionel pike. Features great views of steam trains and a close up of slipping drive wheels and sand action!
