Weekly Review No. 355 - Railway Worker
Short Film (Full Length) – 1948
In the goods depots the day's work takes a different tempo. It's broad daylight before the loading begins. Thousands of wagons a year, millions of tons of goods.– Narrator
Railway people speak of their jobs with a certain reserve of pride. No matter how small or obscure their individual work may be, they have the satisfaction of knowing that the community can't get on without them and that they in turn have a responsibility to the community.– Narrator
