How creative of those "old time" movie makers , how the F**k did that train not fall of the tracks while going over or around such bad track laying skills or obstacles? , I think that these people did a great job of such simple "cartoon type" stunts & with NO computer imagery either unlike today's techno stunt scenes ; well done to all who made this movie & Many Thanks for uploading this timeless film to the internet.

watching this movie you do understand where the big things came from. Amazing video. Also you understand that these things were done by men who had their heads on their shoulders and they were not engineers but they believed in something that shaped the history. Big respect for them

I think the little brooms in front of the drive wheels is hilarious. An accurate and hilarious portrail of the hazards of early railroading!

This is Buster Keaton's silent feature "Our Hospitality." As a Keaton fan, it's so interesting to read all the comments from classic American railroads experts. I'm glad to know Keaton and his team did great job on recreating the train. Keaton's "General" is also great. It's safe to say the protagonist of the movie is the train "General" itself.

Ironically, the lousy track conditions in the U.S. drove some major improvements in locomotive technology. The extensive use of a pivoted lead guiding truck in front of the driving wheels and of "equalizers" on coupled driving axles (to handle bumps in the track) were both American innovations developed to handle very rough track, but they ended up becoming nearly universal steam locomotive features.

That trackwork, would be deemed safe by NCB standards

For a one time movie that was a fine replica. It is not like people in a 1923 will walk out of the movie because it was not exactly like the real one. It look a lot like it and it is not like everyone is going to see that. And you can not argue that those where some of the best steam locomotive stunts ever. Hats off to the maker of it.

Another great feature by Buster Keaton. I enjoyed very much both this one and "The General".

Not likely as this was filmed in Pomona if I remember what I read and thats all been developed.

Buster Keaton set the movie in 1830 and had the replica of Roket built for the film.

2:00 Note: They did straighten the track for the film footage shot from the side. An amazing film. I wonder if the wheels were made with a different design to help accomplish the rickety track visual?

Love this, so added to a playlist...

This is adorable. That's the only word I can think of to describe it! The whole railway built over a log as a bump in the track. Priceless!

There is a trolley line in Mandan North Dakota, that runs out to Fort Abraham Lincoln, and back. This trolley line has a section of track that very much resembles the track in this footage.

The fact that there was a director and cast and crew who thought to preserve in film for the 1923 audience what a 1829 train ride experience was meant they did not take for granted the expansion and technological advances of the railroad system. These men were looking back in admiration for the simple not in a feeling of superiority. Or they understood that future is not inherently progressive.

Awesome! Loved every bit of it

I was told that the movie company did not build a very long stretch of tracks. After each section was filmed, the track was torn up and placed farther ahead.

Looks like such a smooth ride.

Liverpool and Manchester loco with Baltimore and Ohio passenger wagons. The tracks look like the Chicago Transit Authority after Bruce Rauner’s budget impasse. This train still goes faster and more reliably than the trains I take to work in Chicago.

A marvel of invention.

As mentioned by others, these are scenes from the Buster Keaton movie "Our Hospitality", invented for comic effect (and not actually a documentary). The train later appeared (and was partly destroyed) in a film "The Iron Mule", directed by Roscoe Arbuckle under a pseudonym. Buster Keaton was involved, though uncredited.

@toyotaprius79 check out the description of the video, it's REPLICA built for the 1923 film. Oh how I hate having to repeat myself

That’s too cool !!! Those tracks look like the highways here in West Virginia!!!

All I can see here is the panicle of danger. Being a Stationary Operating Engineer, I hope this engineer is keeping track of his steam pressure and boiler water level. He has no fireman to regulate the boilers operation. The engineer has to do it all including braking the train. I sure hope this locomotive had a safety pressure valve and in addition the engineer had to stop the train to fix the track? I know this is a movie but I just have to believe there were many fatalities during the infancy of trains during this time period as a means of transportation.

I thought it was the roads here in Duluth, Mn. today, but then I noticed it was a little aged.

I have been trying to find out how many "Rockets" were built. I mean; was it a one-off, or a production locomotive, supplied in any kind of numbers to railways. Any help much appreciated.

It is still kept right??

The drivers are the most kind people in the world.

So Buster Keaton was a train enthusiast and set this movie in the 1830's to include Rocket? I guess most people in 1923 didn't know the Rocket was a British locomotive and he thought it fit his slapstick comedy. Funny to think that the Rocket was almost a 100 year old antiquity in 1923, while this movie is only 90 years old. Puts things into perspective.

Excellent, from invention to super modernisation people hardly think of.

How olds this film and what’s the title

Some say that there was a Model T engine in the tender driving the train.

Why is it not in HD and in colour?
