00:30Hello. Is that so?
00:54180 degrees. I don't believe it. Where?
01:00Iran. Now, where is that? Just a minute.
01:06I'll go ahead. Iceland. Iran.
01:11Hmm. I'll be right over.
01:16So this is Iran, eh?
01:19Let's see what the little old guidebook has to say.
01:23Iran. Furnace of the Middle East.
01:27Chamber of Commerce stuff.

03:29The winding zigzagging path through the mountainous terrain of Iran presents a sharp contrast
03:35To the American driver accustomed to the four-lane highways of his homeland
03:39I wonder what I did wrong
03:51No picture of Iran would be complete without mention of that other supply route to Russia
03:58The picturesque trans-Iranian railroad with its network of two hundred and twenty-four tunnels
04:04And 4,000 bridges
04:04The railroad, too, has its landslides
04:06But this is no problem for an experienced railroad man
