In a 3000-seat theater with a cast of 250 members Railroads on Parade reenacted the progress of rail transportation from the 1820s through 1939. Edward Hungerford wrote the text for the pageant and my be assumed to have contributed to this 'Book of the Play". The goal of Edward Hungerford was to briefly tell the story of the railroad through a series of stage presentations with narration and incidental music. Hungerford wrote that "into every corner of our social and economic existence the railroad is tightly interwoven. It is the backbone of he country no even more it is its veritable lifeblood. In its 250000 miles of steel veins it flows to every far corner of a far-flung land it binds in its living throbbing embrace city and town and village the open country the forest the mine the forge the factory and the sea. It is indeed the nation's lifeblood the great arm not only of its industry but of its military defense. If it were to die then the nation would die." The spectacular finish of the show culminated with the cast both human and steel the J2a - Hudson Streamliner and another modern engine were used in the Grand Finale making their final appearance on stage. Railroads on Parade records the magnificent progress of rail transport in America for the preceding 110 years. It begins with the first efforts of men who inspired with bold vision and foresight worked to achieve and it leads to a glowing picture of railroad operation in the United States in 1939. To fashion this pictures so that it may tell its story briefly has been the aim and ambition of its creator. The effort has been to condense to epitomize by a series of state pictures with adequate narration and incidental music to create a sharp impression of this outstanding example of Man's achievement in America. The overall Exhibit area presented The Yard: The Railroad of Yesterday; The Grounds: The Railroad of Today; Railroads in Building: The Story of Railroad Construction and Railroads at Work: The Story of Railroad Operation. There were a number of historic locomotives on exhibit in "The Yard". Frank Bird Masters 1873-1955 was an illustrator of books and periodicals who studied under Howard Pyle.
