I love those old movies put on by the railroads. its a training video, but heck they cared enough to put some music in there and also a pretty good moderator.

Good luck trying to get today’s railroads to do something like that.

Back in the day there were people with, for lack of a better word, Class. I have been viewing some British railway training films from the 1930s through the 1950s. Although some of the acting is corny by todays point of view, the moderators were excellent, as was the filming.

Back in the day, the railroads were run by railroad men. Today, they are run by suits.

Good videos. I like the electrical arc ones too. Guy who was filming the electric train shorting out either had a long zoom lens or was stupidly close to the molten metal sparks.

Steve, that first video takes me back to the early 1980’s when I had a Kenworth truck with a big Caterpillar V8 diesel engine in it. On a cold morning that thing would start on 1 or 2 cylinders and then sit there and bang away and smoke for about 15 minutes until all the cylinders were firing. Thanks for the memories.

I think that shadow is the smoke plume.
