The Golden Age of Steam Trains Part: 04

This part has a little bit more roundhouse operations. Then it goes into the subject of trains in movies. In the middle of the video, it reaches the time period around World War I. After World War one, it shows some clips of New York Central Hudsons, and several other high speed passenger trains. Next the railroads go into the depression, and then it finally shows the birth of the streamliner.

at 6:55 what road # is that??

[KH990j]

@Strasburg1991 no clue, I just know it was a short-lived Southern Pacific train on the Overland route.

That's what Amtrak needs to do if passenger ridership is going to go up, make their own streamliner, people from all over would pay to ride one in contemporary times.

[KH990j]

@SP4449Warbaby the Acela, but it's not advanced enough, plus I've seen better kept trains on short lines than on Amtrak.

@KH990j The Acela is OK but its basically a high speed commuter train.

[KH990j]

@boazrg and they only travel along the northeast corridor, not the entire U.S. I think railroads could use more electrified systems.
