Going to be covering a few more gm stories over the next few weeks jeff, if there is anything you’d like to see a video on about them do let me know.

Hahahahah I see what you mean!! ITS ALIVE 😭😂

What a lovely comment! Thankyou kurtis, glad you enjoyed it and haha yes I need to after editing for so long inside 😭 think I’ll go for a good hike with the dog today/tomorrow. This did indeed make my day.

@@RedStateFilms Rock on...! Thanks a bunch...! You've now made my day...! I will try to pay it forward... Take care

I’d love to make one a motorhome myself but at those prices I think I’ll stick to dreaming haha. You never know maybe one day you will see a real one on the channel 😂

Interesting stuff, I’ll have to read into that and maybe make a video on it, someone else said they also ruined the train service/lines in the us too?

They effectively replaced all the small and intermediate rail transport system with GM busses. NO ONE remembers this, I DO!

Now this is really interesting! I will look into this and if I can make a documentary out of that aswell. And now you say that they do look like trains!!!

It is well established that the top brass at GM had a plan to replace trollies and electrified vehicles that ran on rails with GM busses. Once the infrastructure was bought up and destroyed there was no going back and the country was forced to use busses and trucks. Abandoning the rail system and building new roads. You see this even today. Look out any train window and you will see many parallel tracks rusting, rotting and abandoned. Only the main lines on Conrail and Amtrak are maintained now, and at a loss I might add. You may have a little trouble researching this as GM has re written history to hide this dark fact, BUT there are still many photographs of destroyed trollies and rail coaches from that era.@@RedStateFilms

I would be happy to point you in the right direction and see if the pictures are still on the internet.@@RedStateFilms

The General Motors streetcar conspiracy refers to the convictions of General Motors (GM) and related companies that were involved in the monopolizing of the sale of buses and supplies to National City Lines (NCL) and subsidiaries, as well as to the allegations that the defendants conspired to own or control transit systems, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This suit created lingering suspicions that the defendants had in fact plotted to dismantle streetcar systems in many cities in the United States as an attempt to monopolize surface transportation. Between 1938 and 1950, National City Lines and its subsidiaries, American City Lines and Pacific City Lines-with investment from GM, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California (through a subsidiary), Federal Engineering, Phillips Petroleum, and Mack Trucks-gained control of additional transit systems in about 25 cities.[a] Systems included St. Louis, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Oakland. NCL often converted streetcars to bus operations in that period, although electric traction was preserved or expanded in some locations. Other systems, such as San Diego's, were converted by outgrowths of the City Lines. Most of the companies involved were convicted in 1949 of conspiracy to monopolize interstate commerce in the sale of buses, fuel, and supplies to NCL subsidiaries, but were acquitted of conspiring to monopolize the transit industry. The story as an urban legend has been written about by Martha Bianco, Scott Bottles, Sy Adler, Jonathan Richmond,[3] Cliff Slater,[4] and Robert Post. It has been depicted several times in print, film, and other media, notably in the fictional film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, documentary films such as Taken for a Ride and The End of Suburbia and the book Internal Combustion.[not verified in body]

Must of been real fascinating specially for the time period, we take for granted all we see on the internet and tv nowadays but back then, dam this must of blown minds!
