PRODUCTION NOTES From the Director: The second of two volumes, The American Freedom Train: The Year in Pictures 1976 is, like the first volume, the culmination of three years' effort to reconstruct the journey of an incredible event over twenty years old. Research on this subject comes from two trips to the National Archives, countless newspaper and magazine accounts, but most importantly from interviews with over thirty of the AFT's staff, engine crews and designers. This documentary owes its existence to the efforts of nearly two dozen photographers who either chased the train, or lived and worked on it.
