Reply to "Chicago Museum of Science and Industry Santa Fe Layout movie film from 1941/2 original Minton Cronkhite pieces"

Thanks for sharing Carey:

A question and a couple of points for everyone:

What engine is the Santa Fe using as it pulled out of LA? It looks like an EA1, but the number (13) if I read it correctly should be an E6. Just curious.

My first thoughts as someone from the area, is thank god we don't live with the coal generated power and heating as was shown in this film.

The buildings and skyline of Chicago are way more attractive without all the coal crap covering everything. Just think it you had to breath that in everyday.

Also, it was mentioned in the film that the "L" was to be replaced by a subway. That of course is not true as both modes of transportation are will used today.

What caught my eye was the signage prior to the MSI content. I would have been nice to have a bit more definition, but I'm just happy to have what was shown.

Thanks again Carey.
