The Sun Down Limited was another amusing Our Gang short

Warning: Spoilers
This Hal Roach comedy short, The Sun Down Limited, is the thirty-first in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. In this one, Mickey and Joe are in the engineer's room of the train with the rest of the gang in the back car. Of course, the actual operators are with the two boys. Then those men take a break and tell them not to do anything on the train till they're back. Of course, Mickey and Joe do not listen and get Farina in trouble when that toddler gets stuck on the tracks as they keep going back and forth operating the controls while Farina keeps ducking the train. So after the engineers find out, they're thrown out and form their own train. But now a bully named Toughy is after them since he has his own train and doesn't like his business taken from him...This was quite an amusing short and fulfills a childhood fantasy of being in charge of a vehicle meant to stay on tracks. The chaos that results seems real enough at the actual locations. I really liked this one so on that note, I recommend The Sun Down Limited.
