A 1967 Trip From Miami to Winter Haven Aboard the Silver Meteor on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad

Описание: This is a vintage 3½ minute 8mm color film of a 1967 round trip aboard the Miami section of the streamliner Silver Meteor. It also includes a cameo appearance by the Sunland local. This was just before Seaboard merged with Atlantic Coast Line to become the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, and still four years before Amtrak. The Winter Haven station remains in service, but the old 1927 stub-end Seaboard Miami passenger terminal was demolished after Amtrak moved out in 1978, except for the original entrance portico standing at 2206 NW 7th Avenue.
