The Electric Company - Red, Rip and Run



I spotted this unique and somewhat "Low Budget" fun educational video from the 1970's era PBS television series "The Electric Company on the You Tube channel.

During the early 1970's when I was growing up on the near southwest side of Chicago, I used to watch The Electric Company on WTTW Channel 11 Chicago. I remember seeing this video, I believe it was back in 1973.

This video features a young and upcoming actor Morgan Freeman, super imposed on an H.O Scale model train layout featuring Atlas H.O structures and inexpensive Tyco rolling stock.

Thanks.
