This movie is apparently in Public Domain and I downloaded it from Jimbo Berkey's fantastic site. I then uploaded to the Cloud and watched in on TV with my Streaming Media device (can I say Roku?).
I love anything to do with Railroading's Steam Days, so this would at least be a time killer on a rainy day.
However, it turned out to be a pretty darn good movie, with a neat story, good acting and GREAT railroading scenes.
Hedda Hopper was a better actress than you might have thought, if you even ever heard of her. She may even be better than her Son William, TV Perry Mason's Private Dick, Paul Drake. All the other actors were fine too.
I especially liked the Newlyweds on the Train, who along with the Porter supplied the Comic Relief. That and some genuine Hair Raising Train scenes really added to the movie.
I plan on watching this movie again and I think lots of other people might want to give it a look.
