The Roar of the Rails  The Roar of the Rails is an American children's television series that aired on CBS from October to December 1948, and in October to December 1949. Each episode is 15 minutes long and was essentially a live commercial for the toy manufacturer A. C. Gilbert Company. The series is notable as being one of the first infomercials to air on a major television network. To sell American Flyer electric trains and other A.C. Gilbert products, the live series appeared for the eight weeks leading to Christmas 1948 and again in 1949. The format featured a retired railroad worker reminiscing dramatically about olden times. Each story featured actors plus in-studio electric trains and elaborate layouts to substitute for authentic train footage as the old-timer told his grandson exciting stories of earlier times in railroading. Seven 1949 kinescoped episodes of the series exist at the Library of Congress in the J. Fred and Leslie W. MacDonald Collection.
