00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:58.360
This is a motion picture about railroads, produced for the paper division of Champion

2
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:07.640
Papers, Inc. It is an artist's view of what a railroad is, how it looks and sounds, how

3
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:13.420
it affects its environment and the lives of people. And occasionally you'll see how this

4
00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:19.640
subject, like any other, can be vividly translated to the medium of paper by the photographer,

5
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:29.360
the graphic designer and the printer who uses his imagination. A railroad was an iron horse.

6
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:34.540
Those that are left stand quietly and majestically in museums and trackside

7
00:01:34.540 --> 00:01:37.860
parks and the paint flakes from the iron.

8
00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:12.580
The beauty of the steam locomotive was its look of brute strength, and it hissed and bellowed

9
00:02:12.580 --> 00:02:18.680
like some mythical dragon, a romantic beast crashing through the countryside with her

10
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.980
reverberating thunder of a summer storm.

11
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:55.380
A railroad is a freight car in a multitude of shapes and sizes. From the bulky boxcar

12
00:02:55.380 --> 00:03:01.460
to the long, lean flat car that carries truck trailers piggyback, the design is functional.

13
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.880
Yet there is the aesthetic appeal of sharply sculptured steel, weather-worn wood,

14
00:03:09.820 --> 00:03:18.140
stenciled-on numbers, chalk-scrawled instructions, massive hardware that sets the brakes and joins

15
00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:24.860
two cars together, and flanged wheels squeal like stuck pigs as they grind against steel rail.

16
00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:32.200
In a tangle of rails and a yard, men make freight trains out of freight cars, and it's a hard day's

17
00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:39.520
work. Sorting, checking, throwing switches takes a nimble foot, a quick mind, and a strong back to

18
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.480
work on the railroad.

19
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:47.820
The railroad is a freight train that takes the train from the station to the station.

20
00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:47.820


21
00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:47.820


22
00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:47.900
The train is a freight train that takes the train from the station to the station.

23
00:04:47.900 --> 00:05:14.400
The railroad is a freight train that takes the train from the station to the station.

24
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:15.160
Hello, Walter.

25
00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:16.680
Yeah.

26
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.680
How much is that cover?

27
00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:20.100
$59.

28
00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:22.940
$59, thank you.

29
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:54.960
A railroad is a collection of great names like these.

30
00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:59.900
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe. Canadian National. Chesapeake and Ohio.

31
00:06:00.780 --> 00:06:06.540
Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy. Denver and Rio Grande Western. Great Northern.

32
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:14.380
Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio. New York Central. Northern Pacific. Seaboard Airline. Union Pacific.

33
00:06:14.380 --> 00:06:18.320
Southern Pacific. Baltimore and Ohio. Pennsylvania.

34
00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:28.960
The railroad is the beauty of nature along the right of way. Wild flowers and tall grasses swept by a

35
00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:36.680
turbulence of air as a train hurries by. The still of forest and stream. Meadow and prairie shattered by a

36
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.880
torrent of sound. And then it's quiet again.

37
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:54.960
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

38
00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:54.960


39
00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:55.180
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

40
00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:55.840
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

41
00:06:57.200 --> 00:06:58.200
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

42
00:06:58.900 --> 00:07:00.180
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

43
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.540
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

44
00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:02.220
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

45
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:02.680


46
00:07:03.140 --> 00:07:03.680
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

47
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:03.960
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

48
00:07:03.960 --> 00:07:08.840
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

49
00:07:10.540 --> 00:07:12.440
The railroad is a collection of great names like these.

50
00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:21.440
A railroad is a station with signs and a ceiling three stories high where you buy your ticket and check your baggage and wait on a bench.

51
00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:33.720
There is an inescapable suspense and you feel the magic of faraway places as you wait to board one of the great named trains.

52
00:07:34.700 --> 00:07:39.480
The Broadway Limited. The South Wind. The city of San Francisco.

53
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:49.700
The Super Chief. The Empire Builder. The Hiawatha. The Denver Zephyr. The North Coast Limited. The Lark.

54
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:28.520
The railroad is a long heavy steel sheath train whose destination is half a continent away.

55
00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:34.740
It is a world of its own. You will live in it for perhaps a day and a night.

56
00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:42.420
There is a place to dine. A bed to sleep in. A living room to lounge in and a window to the world.

57
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.580
You will hear the muffled roar of the giant diesel engine up ahead.

58
00:08:58.580 --> 00:09:06.020
The rhythmic sound of the wheels on the rails. And there will be the feel of speed as you hurtle across the land.

59
00:09:07.540 --> 00:09:15.180
A railroad is a montage of color and texture. And sometimes the view out your window is like an abstract painting.

60
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:48.120
A railroad is people of every age and face going places because they want to and because they must.

61
00:10:11.260 --> 00:10:20.100
A railroad is seeing sights there is no other way to see. A behind the scenes look at life. A view with a different perspective.

62
00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:54.540
A railroad is getting off the train in the early morning light. Rubbing the sleep from your eyes. A little bit sorry you have to return to the realities of life.

63
00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:47.420
A railroad is an engineer. Gloved hand on the throttle. Millions of miles of track with a built in clickety clack.

64
00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:28.440
A railroad is dining with heavy silver service that won't topple over.

65
00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:32.460
And being served by a waiter who is a master of his trade.

66
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:53.240
A railroad is a montage of sound and motion. Noise and quiet. Mobility and immobility. A clash of steel on steel.

67
00:13:53.240 --> 00:14:08.240
Wood and metal and stone. A big brawny complex creation of man. A railroad is a wonderland of life patterns in the night. Blurring, flashing, flickering, blinking, appearing and disappearing.

68
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.640
A railroad takes you home again.

69
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:40.300
This is Imagination 10. A collection of graphic impressions on paper of what a railroad was and is.

70
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.800
It is one of a series of books published by the paper division of Champion Papers, Inc.

71
00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:58.760
The cover is the blur of a high speed diesel engine and color photography reproduced on Champion Papers chrome coat cover.

72
00:14:59.900 --> 00:15:05.620
The most subtle variations in color are retained on chrome coats unmatched printing surface.

73
00:15:06.540 --> 00:15:17.580
This artist's impression of a train crossing a trestle bridge is printed on Champion Papers blue carnival offset. A sheet that takes broad solid ink coverage with ease.

74
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:27.720
Our conductor is printed in matte black ink on Champion Papers wedge wood coated offset dull finish. A smooth level sheet without gloss.

75
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:40.440
The reproduction of Honoree Daumier's third class carriage is again on chrome coat to retain absolute color values and to achieve ultimate realism.

76
00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:49.540
To show details of the weathered look of wood and metal, we've again used a wedge wood sheet with its bright white finish.

77
00:15:50.380 --> 00:15:57.100
This close up color photograph of rail tie and ballast is also reproduced on chrome coat.

78
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:11.060
Throughout Imagination 10, you'll see how Champion Papers chrome coat and night coat lines superbly meet every reproduction challenge and contribute a character of their own to the printed piece.

79
00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:22.200
This motion picture based on Imagination 10 was produced especially for the paper division of Champion Papers incorporated by these people.

80
00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:17.800
Thank you for watching!
