Series Description: ALL ABOARD sets in motion American Railroad stories that educate, entertain, and delight. Drawing from historical accounts and photographic archives of the national Railroad story, each episode crosscuts with one-of-a-kind moving train images and rare photographs that follow three distinct facets of the Railroad Passenger story: the history of Locomotives, Railroad Mail Service and the Pullman Sleeper story. Supporting interviews combining oral histories with restoration participants and historians completes this exceptional television viewing experience. Authentic Newsreel footage and archival photographs complement the series.
