Buster Keaton’s masterpiece, probably the pinnacle of physical comedy and physical action in the height of the silent era and one of the best silent films ever made. Cannot recommend this one enough. Thank you for sharing!
I grew up down the road from where this train is located. There’s another movie about it called the Great Locomotive Escape about it being stolen during the Civil War.
