I was kind of hoping to see something through my old home town (it was PM pre-C&O) or maybe a shot from the GM Proving Grounds. Maybe next time.

Yep--Detroit! Those 700-series Pacifics were PM's biggest and best passenger power until the E7s arrived.

Probably was Detroit.

Jam Handy has their studios/offices at Grand Blvd and Oakland.

I worked there in the early 60s

I thought I eyed up some Grand Trunk locos as well.

Neat stuff. The website that comes from ( archive.org ) has a number of railroad related films. Most notably a couple of 'behind the scenes' type documentaries made in the late steam and early diesel era on major class 1s (New Haven and SP, probably among others).

Seems like 30's era Public Service pieces always have a bratty kid involved.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

I found this on youtube today, its basically comparing Auto drivers with locomotive engineers. Lots of great steamers in this one!

The ending is a bit funny!
