All
Aboard America
The American
Freedom Train Foundation released two versions of the half-four
film "All Aboard America" to promote the AFT. Both were
produced by 1776 Productions under the direction of Ralph Weisinger.
A copy of the original version is in the National Archives at College
Park, MD.
Both versions
were made in a documentary fashion and share almost exactly the
same soundtrack.
The original
film was produced just after the train hit the road and relies mostly
on still images and conceptual drawings. The second version, finished
nearly a year later, includes much more footage of the train in
action.
These were made
available to the media in advance of the train's visit to any given
city.
