   dramatic short video of thoroughbred horse training and racing as a metaphor for
   the operation of the railroad.  Specific scenes were chosen to dovetail with
   material to be taught in the course, and a music-driven, no-narration approach
   was approved.  Video was shot on location in 2.5 days and edited in one day
   using no stock footage.
