- This vintage railroad film, was written and produced in 1945 by Carl Dudley, who would go on to create the cultural series This World of Ours. Using the attack on Pearl Harbour as an instigating emergency, the film stresses how railroads were able to operate within the strict confines of military rules and confidentiality while still mobilizing American military men and equipment in time to halt the oppressive actions of foreign enemies. Equally revered are the rail employees who fix tracks and engines and chart the timetables to keep everything from vehicle parts to overseas mail on schedule.
Thanks for sharing this great video.

A fascinating insight into the wartime attitude and self-myth of America of generations ago. Thanks for sharing.
Nice train ❤👍🏻 , I love making steam train craft.
I love embargo! Good Job! I love video about Airplanes. Thank you for recipe.
Fascinating that this is almost completely stock footage. Cobbled together with narration to make a propaganda movie. Presumably distributed free to schools and clubs. Long before television.
