The film sequence of the Ste. Genevieve railroad ferry that I posted previously on the cruise page is one of two that I have. The first one, filmed in the 1940's, shows a Missouri-Illinois RR steam engine (a 2-8-0) working the boat. I used this sequence in a railroad video we produced on St. Louis railroads many years ago. So, here are some frames from the 1940's sequence. Again, they are 16mm film frames converted to video so they aren't as sharp as still photos.
