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!
As a physicist, I absolutely LOVE the physics discussions here explaining how trains work and why they travel with so much less friction.
I just absolutely loved C N Rail films from 1960 Through 1990's. D. K. Keller.
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.

Same
Sorry about that. Im trying to find a way to fix it and make the sound mono. UA-cam doesn't feature a way to adjust sound levels. This came off a CD-rom and was probably uploaded that way.
@@shnorth888 I think it's a type of joke
I love Canadian trains so much like Americans.
Yes. The railroads of both nations have always been intertwined.
Trains rock but the Wet Noodle rocks best
The genius graphic designer Allen Fleming to thank 🇨🇦
@@halon7476 I was 11 years old and a model train nut when the Noodle came out. I was so obsessed with it I stuck it on every loco I owned
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.
nanaimo is a good example of this
1970s Im surprised they are not using Imperial units.
I think these films are late 70’s.
Never seen concrete ties. This idea flew out the window ?
Yes, concrete ties are big in many areas and parts of the world. In some places they have to be concrete or the locals will pull the wood ones and burn them for fuel.
