For 30 years Charles Smiley Presents (CSP) has been bringing rail fans and model railroaders videos of railroad subjects since 1994. Our emphasis has been on railroads and eras that have either changed dramatically with time, or in many cases, disappeared altogether. CSP uses old movie film and video shot back when the rail scene looked a lot different. The vanished-differences seem far more appealing to us than the things you can easily see today. Our background began as an idea in 1994. A lifelong interest of trains and the hobby of model railroading added the spark. Production Value Each video takes three to four months to research, edit, script, add narration, create maps, add a bit of licensed music and sound effects. We Bring the Trains and the added value!
