Don't know how many caught "The Friendship Train" yesterday afternoon on Turner Classic Movies.

Here's TCM's description:

Friendship Train, The (1947)

This short film details the history of the "Friendship Train," created to travel across the U.S. to collect food for war ravaged countries in Europe.

BW-14 mins,

Incredible shots of SP steam but especially a Pacific Electric locomotive (I think 1640?)pulling the train in LA.

This was part of their Memorial Day line-up. Maybe they'll show it again on Veteran's Day
