The Railroad Hour was a delightful radio series that aired musical dramas and comedies from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. Sponsored by the Association of American Railroads, the show condensed beloved musicals and operettas into shorter formats, focusing on works written before 1943.
Here are some highlights:
Host and Leading Man: The talented Gordon MacRae hosted each episode and played the leading male roles. His leading ladies came from both radio and the Metropolitan Opera.
Musical Selections: The show featured excerpts from classic musicals such as:
No, No, Nanette (with co-star Doris Day)
Brigadoon (with co-star Jane Powell)
The Desert Song
Holiday Inn
The Merry Widow
The Mikado
Naughty Marietta
Show Boat
Song of Norway
State Fair
The Student Prince
The Vagabond King
Musical Director: Carmen Dragon led the musical direction, and the show’s theme song was the familiar tune, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.”

Undercover Carson follows the adventures of a British Secret Service Agent Bruce Carson posted to South America to track down escaped German Nazi Scientists who had developed a highly lethal & destructive death ray. The death ray was an extremely powerful laser, ahead of its time and capable of widespread devastation.

Undercover Carson, Secret Agent - Operation Deathray: An Assignment in Rio was written by Michael Noonan and produced by Walter Pym for Artransa Productions. It starred Barry Cookson as Bruce Carson and James Mills as Sir Giles Daverport.
