Portland, Oregon in the 1950s / vintage Union Pacific Railroad promo film

Roses are tops. The annual Rose Festival parade provides a big day for Portland. It shows the inevitable queen and attendance, prancing drum majorettes, brass bands, floral floats decorated with gems of feminine charm, and a floating merry-go-round. All to the utter amazement of Portland's future citizens. Well, after all, there's nothing quite like a parade. And in many ways, no other city quite like Portland. Every afternoon, the Streamliner City of Portland pulls out of Union Station headed for Chicago and points east. Across the spectacular countryside streaks the Golden Streamliner. Passengers relax as scenic beauty begins to unfold for long stretches of [music] interesting landscapes lie before them.
