Post-World War II growth allowed America's railway system to modernize. Advanced streamliners traveled at record-breaking speeds, but steam locomotives were still essential when it came to transporting goods and services crucial to America's economy.



Relive that era with brief subjects that focus on damage and freight loss that can occur when railway cars are incorrectly coupled together, how federal law controls competition between the railroads, how railroads have changed since their earlier days, and much more. Watch these six short subjects: "Meeting the Challenge," "The Freight Goes Through," "The Right to Compete," "New Directions in Modern Railroading," "Switches- Hand Brakes and You," and "TLC." 2hrs. 12min.
