A look at an old safety film. Wonderful shots of how the railroaders could get hurt, as well as some great old equipment

Very interesting look back on how things were done and some of the jobs that are long gone.

When I hired out on the PRR I had 3 weeks of safety and rule classes and then I was allowed to become a qualified student brakeman for OJT and that was no picnic since you was seen as a liability by the crew but,they would train you well----or see your budding railroad career was cut short if they thought you lacked common sense to do the job because you won't listen or you endanger yourself and your follow crewmen.

Very instructional for those of us without live railroad experience in that time. I put it on my harddisk for multiple use.

The models used around 31 minutes are outstanding for that time period.
