Piggyback Southern Style

Company film produced in the 1960s by the Southern Railway to show the early road/rail piggyback container freight trains.

[@tomharris8263]

I love the old films. Lots of people getting the job done. No computers, no cell phones. The job still got done and the freight still arrived on time.

i remember the old Southern logo "Southern gives the green light to innovation"

I liked the flirtatious waitress who had a special relationship with all the truck drivers.

I worked as a conductor on the railroad for years between 2004-2014. Double stack trains rule the rails now. Very little TOFC except for UPS. They are the hottest trains out there.

The poor manager of the trucking company had less hair at the end of this video than he did at the beginning.

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for sharing the video

[@pennsyr1]

Don't know why, but Mr. Harris' exasperated "oh dammit to hell" at 4:46 left me chuckling. Wasn't expecting any profanity, however mild, in a presentation from this period in time when swearing was treated as uncouth and taboo. Guess all the mounting headaches of trying to get the job done were starting to try his patience.

This was in the Brosnan years of Southern! Cussing was an integral part of the operation! Lol

Regulations… they help keep you from getting in trouble in ways you may not understand until it bumps up against you.
