Tells the epic story of the development of America's railroads and the tre- mendous part that they played in the growth and expansion of this country. "Humorous scenes show the mistrust and resentment that were aroused in many citizens by the advent of the Iron Horse. However, this antagonism gave way to cheers as the steady advance of the railroad opened up the more remote sections of the land. The last portion of the film deals with the important role which Is being played by the railroads in the defense program." Movie makers "Excellent sound and commentator and sound effects. Well organized and presented. Beautiful color. Good character portrayal. Fast moving."
