The fabulous '50's preserved by film!! 1954, ten years before even my own birth! Trains had class, railroads had class and people dressed like ladies and gentlemen, not like ghetto bums as today. Ike was president and Hollywood and railroads were still in their Golden Age. Automobiles and Harley-Davidsons were chrome and lacquer paint wonders of dreams. The innocence and simple old-fashioned fun would, I say forlorn, die later.Yes, the glory of the American dream in the Santa Fe passenger trains with streamlined GM/EMD F7 A and B locomotives and shiny silver-streak Pullman and Budd cars. Engineers in proper overalls. Porters, stewards and conductors in nice uniforms.Cooks are clean cut and clean-shaven in nice whites. No tatts and bearded grotiness back then. No smartphones or tech stuff to spoil the American countryside views.
