Intriguing documentary from 1959 (unknown is the platform on which it was originally broadcast) that discusses the struggle to keep passenger trains alive in Canada. It quotes a study that predicted the demise of sleeper service in the US by the mid 1960s and coach travel by 1970. The latter almost proved to be disarmingly accurate.
