Great film. Has some cane tramways from around the 11 minute mark too.
Why can't we go back to this period in time? Where new and exciting developements were promoted in film like this. Everything was about building, creating, bettering people's lives and giving the average man the opportunities necessary to succeed. Unlike today where everything is too hard and there has to be studies upon studies as to whether or not something can even get off the ground. Thank you for giving me something decent to watch on youtube. Cheers
