(26 Episodes) "Green Valley Line" Very little is known about the "Green Valley Line," other than it was a syndicated serial, possibly broadcast during the early 1930s. "Green Valley Line" tells the story of a small town railroad line in turn of the Century America, and of what a small, close-knit community will do to keep their train in their town. When a conglomerate hound wants to gain ownership of "... the little engine that could...," he sends his son along to do his dirty work. You will hear how the towns-people band together to save their train from the "handsome man" attempting the 'take-over.' This is a wonderful story which young and old alike will fall in love with; the whole story of which can be listened to in a 6 hour period. Complete in these 26 episodes. Digitised by the Old Time Radio Researchers and streamed from the Internet Archive item “GreenValleyLine”; these recordings are in the public domain.
