This is the Burlington Northerns story of moving freight in 1973. This video includes dramatic scenes of hump yard switching, control centers, freight handling, and car loading. Beautifully photographed run-bys of second generation diesels transporting lumber, food, coal, grain, and goods to the American markets.
Also on this video: The Freight Goes Through. Yard workers get a good look at the damage caused when freight cars arent coupled, or slack taken up at the right speeds in this 1952 AAR film.
