Historic Travel US - Arteries of New York DVD: Historic Travel US Arteries of New York DVD |
| Product Description : Just as an army marches on its stomach, a city marches on its wheels and this fascinating DVD shows us how. The rapid growth of industry and population compelled authorities in New York to work out a system of rapid mass transport that would carry industrial workers, office goers, and businessmen from and to their suburban homes in quick time. Through fascinating photography and a well-scripted narrative Encyclopedia Britannica provides an in-depth view of how this was achieved in the clip entitled Arteries of America. The clip about railroads, Big Train also provides an inspirational peek into how the railroads have contributed to the growth of industry in America. The sponsor?s plea to the government to waive unjustifiable taxes levied upon the Railroad Company seems be a reasonable one in the light of the tremendous contribution made by the New York Central Railroad to the nation?s progress, as witnessed in this clip. You are provided with a thrilling ride on an elevated train as it thunders past several landmarks on Third Avenue in the exhilarating clip entitled Third Avenue El. The excitement of the ride is interspersed with some comic moments when a passenger accidentally drops a coin, which gets wedged in a section of the floor and a succession of passengers try to pry it out with little success. Although the noise of the train may sound bothersome at times, it adds to the true-life quality of the film. |
