As a physicist, I absolutely LOVE the physics discussions here explaining how trains work and why they travel with so much less friction.

Films like this a far better than what you see produced today. No dumbing down, but instead perceptive and literate. Much more watchable this way! Great music, fashion and haircuts by the way!

I saw the old Soo Line cars!! I lived in Michigan's Upper Penninsula. $Soo Line went right by our house. As a kid it was fun to wave at the conducted & engineer as they pulled long lines of cars by us as we stood there and waved. Saw lots of CN & CP cars too.

5:16 "but now this average is about ninety cars, and in some cases up to one hundred twenty five" LFMAO, in Canada, they still use short trains, CN will always be the railroad that can't do anything right.
