A video of the construction of the railroad to Nimba and the harbour etc. exists and is for sale from Jim Herron in the USA.

The film runs around 40 minutes + about 5-10 minutes of outtakes which are mostly the railroad, including the Swedish rail car used in the opening ceremonies.

Some sample scenes are shown here.

The video is in DVD-R format.

The program features clearing the jungle, building the highway and railroad, building the harbour and all related facilities, towns, mine, and associated projects. It has scenes of President Tubman and other dignitaries at the opening ceremonies. The program was written and narrated (in English) by Ralph E. Morse, a CBS reporter who also interviewed President Tubman for a Voice of America program. Filming and editing was by Charles Hegyes who was an employee of Raymond International. Several trips were made to Liberia to film the show.

Copies of the video cost $ 20.00 plus shipping from Tampa, Florida, USA. Shipping costs depend on destination.
