FILM AND RADIO GUIDE
The concluding scenes of "The Harvey Girls" ore likewise played on this
interesting train.
Most recent and prized purchase is a little black locomotive still bearing the seal of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, which was the first concern to manufacture train engines in the U.S., and which began to build locomotives more than a hundred years ago.

But with presentday movie magic, it has an oilburning diesel engine. And what’s more, it gets a song about itself. The Atchison, Topeka, and Sante Fe, sung by Judy Garland !
Yes, this talented train has already “gone places” by not going any place.
