I think you'll find that it was built in the 1930s, and was thus scrapped for it's aluminum during WWII, NOT WWI.

Yes, I meant WW II.
I need a a proof reader.
Cheap!
Thanks.

Cool video...thanks for posting it!
Great footage but I didn't find the music appropriate. Remember when Giorgio Moroder tried to improve the 1927 film Metropolis with songs by Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar and Freddie Mercury? Yes, it sounded kind of silly back in 1982, too.

I am on a fence about the soundtrack but..I have to reveal a personal quirk of mine, which is the irritated and agitated reaction I get when I hear the upteenth version of background music composed entirely of endless folksy banjos. Call this goofy. I turn to my wife, "Whats with the banjos?" "It's cute" "Cute..yeh,,but on every other railroad video?" arghh.
