The song at the beginning is an old Irish tune, "Roisin Dubh."

This Is Great Watching America's Railroad This Is My Railroad Legacy Volume III This Is Great Seeing What I've Seen With Railroads Running Up and Down The Southwest and the west 😊😊😊 🚂🚂🚂

gimme oil

Union Pacific is the only rail road that run correctly.

At least it ride the rails again not on coal but fuel oil.

I live in Fort William, I met the narrator years ago.

Juan Gonzalez, the first Mexican vampire. I also find it funny that many of the maintenance of way workers shown on camera were white when that was not true.

This is MY railroad 🛤️, NOT yours!! Just kidding!!! 🙃 But in all seriousness, this is one of my favorite train documentaries. In fact, I used to own this on VHS 📼 as well.

I used to have this on VHS 📼 back in the day! 😊

Used to watched that on February 2002 on PBS when I was a 3rd Grader!!

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Remember the " Singing Break Men " 🎸🎶 Jimmie Rogers. Whom was a genuine steam locomotive break men till changing careers to a singing entertainer ( 1926 thru 1933 ). Most memorable song. " Break Man's Blues 😭 ". Had the good fortune to travel on 2 different steam locomotives 🚂scenic train rides. Smoky Mountains N.C. Durango & Silverton Colorado. Very relaxing viewing the countryside.😉. Those meals served in the dining cars. Sounded very edible& served professionally -!!!😋

Only an experienced loyal crew could keep those locomotive Giants working properly-!!!😉.

This is my favorite Railroad promotional film for many reasons

My ancestors are from Lewis. Matheson, MacKay, MacDonald, MacRitchie. From there to Canada and some of us to the US.

My uncle was in the cmf of Australia first and then in the actual Australian army in Vietnam, my uncle saw his mates blown to bits and was tormented by the memories of the ones he couldn't save, being a medic first and foremost and then a fully operational combat soldier, he certainly knew about the horrors of that war, he was never the same when he came back to Australia and would go to the ground when he heard a car backfire or would look into buildings with suspicion because he thought people where hidden in the building looking for him, all the things he saw and had to do and yet Australia called him a baby killer and spat on him and did vile shit to him and 7 fellow soldiers, unless they were there and saw what he did then these putrid gutless pigs should just shut the fuck up and have some honour and dignity for people who have honour and did their time in the jungles of Vietnam,rest in peace uncle and may I always have respect for you and I miss you dearly, you and your fellow soldiers will never be forgotten,I write this with tears in my eyes 😪😪😪🙏🙏🙏

Those Aussies (and NZ soldiers) couldn't wait t set up their own area of operations, and not patrol with the yanks anymore. Tactics and discipline.

Aw what a joy to see this again! Great story, beautifully told. 😊

Where is volume four?

Where is volume four?

I have an old VHS copy of this, and it's where I first learned of the Big Boys, though I already knew about the challengers by then after seeing videos of 3985, and I've seen two Big Boys so far, 4006 in 2011 and 4012 in 2022.

My Great Grandmother came to America in 1898, along with three brothers. All three brothers went to work for the B&O at the great Willard yards. One left the railroad… one was killed in a yard accident at Willard in 1939 and the third retired as a locomotive engineer. I myself grew up along the B&O mainline between Defiance and Deshler. I saw Eisenhower’s presidential inauguration train pass by. I also saw Barry Goldwater do a B&O whistlestop…. And finally, saw the last of the steam locomotives being towed to the scrapyards. I will never forget the sound of those steam whistles cutting through sleep on a cold, rainy night.

My great grandfather and uncles on my fathers side spent their entire adult life working for the railroad. My great grandfather died in 1957 ater more than 40 years as an engineer...his last 8 years a passenger loco engineer on the New York Central. He died a couple before i knew him. Whatta life!

Awesome

Please post the other sides.

If you watch around the 34 minute 50 second mark on the video. the scene where the woman is purchasing a lower birth from NYC to Boston on the night owl. The date of travel, is December the 6 1941. She will be in Boston, when the world changed.

My sister Carmel and I filmed this for our father in Dawson City many years ago. It was a wonderful experience and a treasure to have.

I had this on VHS video and it was one of a collection of several other old railroad films from the past. Thanks for posting!

They're mostly can Marxist these days

I just love to watch Union Pacific Railroad history

Thanks for uploading the full version of A Great Railroad at work! Well, alright, the intro with the boy at the station watching the old New Haven Ten Wheeler steam locomotive and its train is missing. But it has the track work scene as well as the travel agent in Grand Central scene to name a couple that are in the "full" version of this film. This was one of the most impressive public relations films any American railroad put out during the 1940s. They got Lowell Thomas to narrate it, he was a celebrity in his day; it's kind of like having Tucker Carlson narrating a public relations video for CSX today. However, one thing that I find irritating about this is with the script. Whoever wrote the script that Lowell Thomas read put WAY too much emphasis on New England throughout it, almost in a biased way. "NEW ENGLAND at work, NEW ENGLAND on the move" NEW ENGLAND NEW ENGLAND NEW ENGLAND etc etc. The New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad served lots of [Southern] New England AND [Downstate] New York, they had a huge amount of trackage in both. In fact, in the days before the Penn Central was formed, the New Haven was the railroad that served the most boroughs of New York City; serving every borough except Staten Island.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm a McDonald from Australia And I have no idea why but I always get pulled to everything scotish It's in my blood but crazy that u get pulled back

The music in the beginning is an old Irish air, Roisin Dubh (Dark Rosaleen).

You will all dwell in hell by killing innocent people just bcuz of your greed of oil and wealth...

RIP to all my brothers that didn't come home. i have mixed feelings about my Nam time and i truly believe we should have pulled out when france did and then just NUKED the whole damn place. we would have saved many many GI's lives that was lost for dumb senseless reasons. and back in 67-68 we knew we couldn't win that WAR because china was the primary backer of the NVC. so anybody to this day that says CHINA is our friend is either a totally idiot or is living in a fantasy world. and add the fact that its CHINA thats keeping north korea alive and arming them to says it all. CHINA IS NOT ALLIES WITH THE USA AND NEVER HAVE BEEN. DON'T BELIEVE THE FALSE MEDIA AND BULLSHYT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE LOOK AT HISTORY AND CURRENT EVENTS HAPPENING TO THIS DAY AND YOU WILL SEE THE TRUE STORY. BURN IN HELL CHINA PERIOD.

This was my childhood

This now rare double Album was initially recorded and released by Harvest Records in Germany, it was an anti war album which was intended to address the evil of Adolf Hitler's Dictatorship in a Rock Opera concept, I found it quite unique and original in its concept, I was informed that David Bowie was offered to sing the part of Goerballs but he was too busy recording his Low Album in Berlin, so I was offered to record it, my favourite tracks are, Stalingrad, Brown Clouds, Beware of him, and Total War.

it must have been pure hell fighting a basically stone age people, killing women, children, civilians with the, at the time, most advanced weapons systems and munitions in the world. And still lose. Morally bankrupt participants in an illegal war will find sympathy btwn sh!t and syphilis in the dictionary.
