Subject: Bobby?
Where did Bobby come from? Did I miss something or is this two films spliced together?

Quite interesting though, the romantic era of trains!

Subject: I love this
I was looking for pictures for my music. I've got an instrumental called "Wagons", and my search on archive.org ended here.
You can see and hear it here

Subject: Good film for children
Made in 1940, this was a good film for children.
At that time, traveling by train was an exciting
experience.

'Passenger Train' is the type of film that just drives me nuts as it's an oversimplified film that school children will enjoy (The Menu is a board where food items are listed!) and I couldnt help but enjoy as well. Unlike other train movies on here, the film totally glamourizes the experience of train travel and just gets down to kiddie basics. What's somewhat disconcerting, is the fact the engineer is said to just remain on the job, without a break or food apparently, for the duration of the trip! If you pay attention, you will notice an edit towards the end of the film which is another EB train film.. the narrator's voice is different, and we all of a sudden hear about the finish of the train trip of young 'Bob' (Off to the ranch for a new adventure of cowboys and horses!). Nice try guys lol. Hightly reccomended!
