A step-by-step depiction of a young boy's trip from Chicago, IL to Lamy, NM, aboard the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe's Train No. 19, the beautiful Santa Fe Chief passenger train. We see the train being prepped and passengers boarding, and then a tour of the train's interior including a Chair Car (coach), the Dome Car, the Observation Car, the Kitchen, the Dining Car, Lunch Car, a Pullman Roomette, and a Pullman Bedroom. We also see the train being led by EMD F7 No. 300 and F7 No. 310. This is a classroom film produced by EB. See more at http://www.trains-and-railroads.com

Bunker Hill, Los Angeles - "waiting to be leveled, to make way for a new world of concrete steel and glass" Angels Flight is a landmark and historic 2 ft 6 in narrow gauge funicular railway in the Bunker Hill district of Downtown Los Angeles, California. It has two funicular cars, named Olivet and Sinai, that run in opposite directions on a shared cable. The tracks cover a distance of 298 feet over a vertical gain of 96 feet. The funicular has operated on two different sites, using the same cars and station elements. The original location, with trackage along the side of Third Street Tunnel and connecting Hill Street and Olive Street, operated from 1901 until 1969, when its site was cleared for redevelopment.
