Staged exhibition at the California State Fair.

A CSX train crosses the high track of a double trestle over the confluence of Copper Creek and the Clinch River in Scott County, Virginia, very early one morning. The Norfolk and Southern RR uses the lower level, just visible in the frame.

The clip shows the view through a train window, from Heby to Morgongåva west of Uppsala in Sweden. It's harvest time in the countryside and after a passage through a forest you stop in Morgongåva, an industrial village.

Betty, Bimbo and Koko take their show on the (rail) road, with obligatory Thirties' wackiness.

First, a pair of blissful honeymooners traveling by train. Then, a year later, the same coach carrying the man to his place of execution. Although it seems hopeless, there are two wild cards on board: the man's wife and a terminally ill reporter. (The source DVD was somewhat botched. I'm guessing that the video had been rescaled vertically without allowing for interlacing.)
