Frank's Training Video
Frank holds his version of the Holy Grail of newspapers, one of the rarest items you can find in the printing industry: an issue of “The Transcontinental.” This was a newspaper printed on one of the first passenger trains to go from Boston to San Francisco in 1870. It was typeset in the baggage car and was printed on a Gordon platen press installed on the train. Content for the 12 editions was essentially a travelog, as the train stopped in various cities during its cross-country journey. The issue Frank has was printed at the summit of the Sierra Nevadas.

This is fascinating, Frank! I can imagine a Netflix series about that journey - with a liberal amount of speculation as to the adventures of both the owners of the publication and the production crew.

But quite “frankly” I think that Ken Burns would be much better for this than Netflix! :-)
