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Even though half of this is outdated by today's rules, it's a good introduction to some of the basics, like how to avoid falling off cars and engines, not getting run over, and looking where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

Companies are better when they're smaller in my opinion because they're easier to maintain making for better quality.

Rule M, expect the movement of cars or locomotives on any track, from any direction, at any time.
Really awesome footage of Great Northern!
Sounds like FDR is the commentator. The advice given here stands well today. Gorgeous locomotives and rolling stock here.
Great intro. music for a railway information film - the "Royal Air Force" march!

5:10 Funny to see a flying switch maneuver in a safety film. I wonder how long after this it was banned.
1947 rail safety was basically "always be ready to jump"
Didn't know the 15ft rule was that old.
Where are the electrified sections filmed?
What electrified sections?
I don't believe great northern had electric trains

Was there only 1 US orchestra that does ALL documentaries and Cartoons from the 30s through 50s.?? 🤣
11:38 is slightly prophetic...
Still common sense basic safety
First comment YAY!

6:28 There’s a difference between a “hobo” and a “tramp”?!
There most certainly is. You should look into it.
