Found this short clip filmed from a passenger train coming into CUS circa early 1940's.

Very interesting indeed, especially since the images are razor-sharp!

I wonder how many of these Hollywood stock footage "time capsules" remain to be seen?  If they're not quite a look at a lost world they're pretty darn close!
