Thanks for the link.  As for why aluminum became so cheap, not sure.  Maybe
there was a lot of scrap metal from WWII being recycled?

Not a train movie but very funny all the same ... why did aluminium become cheap
in the US at that time? In the 1950s.

(...) I heard it was due to cheap electricity in the NW part of the US. Bauxite smelting can make good use of cheap electricity. (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains)
