Henry Ford bough the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad, a somewhat run-down property, in 1920. A few years later, Ford's cameramen went out on the line to take movies of its operations. The railroad was, in some ways, an antique--look for wooden open-platform coaches pulled by 1905-era ten-wheeler locomotives. These films are now in the collection of the National Archives. This is my edit of them.
