James J Hill certainly did NOT want any employee of the Great Northern Railway to be injured. This video is powerful and should be watched by BNSF employees today!

Even though half of this is outdated by today's rules, it's a good introduction to some of the basics, like how to avoid falling off cars and engines, not getting run over, and looking where you're going.

This film was extremely informative for me in regard to the types of rolling stock around at that time. I am modelling in the late steam early diesel era so it was a great help. Thanks for sharing.

1947 rail safety was basically "always be ready to jump"

It's interesting watching this American video after watching several British railway instructional videos and how their styles vastly differ. The British ones are very straightforward, this is how you do it with no other ways shown and with no music. The American one has music and shows you the correct way but only showing you several ways first how someone already screwed it up first.

Sounds like FDR is the commentator. The advice given here stands well today. Gorgeous locomotives and rolling stock here.

5:10 Funny to see a flying switch maneuver in a safety film. I wonder how long after this it was banned.
