Texas - The Big State (1952)

“Texas has come to be accepted practically as the universal gauge of the ultimate of everything.” Commissioned by the Santa Fe Railway Company and produced by Dudley Pictures Corporation, this film provides a sweeping overview of the state of Texas that supports that assertion (while maintaining a clear focus on the many ways in which the Santa Fe railway serves the businesses and citizens of Texas.) The result is a snapshot of many Texas cities and industries in 1952 that includes iconic landmarks as well as images of less frequently filmed locales such as Borger and Cleburne.
