Penn Central Promotional film

Interesting, they go over their extensive holdings in non-rail firms towards the end of the film.    I had no idea they owned the company that operated Six Flags amusement parks.

Note the pitch towards improving rail passenger service as a partnership between the railroad and Federal / State investments vs the New Haven approach in another thread where the NH President is grumbling and crabbing in public.    I think the Penn Central approach probably was more effective in that respect.
