riding the rails is a must see
Review by Butterfly review stating riding the rails is a must see
every generation including the older people like myself (born 1943) should view this to put their own childhood in perspective.

Phoebe Eaton, A Girl On The Rails
Review by Aging H. review stating Phoebe Eaton, A Girl On The Rails
I actually missed the program but recently read my cousins book Chronicles of a Western Family in which she describes her adventure on the rails from Wyoming to Seattle in the 30s as well as the rest of her amazing life story. She is now 87 and I plan to order the DVD of The American Experience:Riding The Rails, The Great Depression Story of Youth in America because she is the only female featured in the documentary.
