[Thursday] Couple old films

[Chris Prata]

Forgot to mention:

On the interviews with elderly be SURE to watch at around the 12 and a half minute mark... a real Rhode Islander - train engineer - born in 1959 in Valley Falls!  he is standing before a steaming loco with his engineer duds on... working hard at age 70

After watching Empire of the Air, went looking on youtube for footage of the past, when steam engines were in full swing and radio was just starting...  found these very good ones, enjoy:
