Hi all,
I hope you enjoy this old time look of Railroading of the 1930's and 40's. The film was taken by The late Sam Parks of Chicago, Ill. in the day when steam was king , with his 16mm . The information was provided by Mr. Parks it was written on the back of the film box. I bought this film off E bay last year.

And your correct there is some golden oldies on this film. From east cost to the west cost. and double headers too.
