The sense of danger and the thrill are most convincing
deickemeyer25 June 2017
A first class railroad melodrama. The scenes are all extremely interesting; nearly all of them were taken on a freight train in motion and the suggestion of speed in the runaway train is more marked than in any picture of its kind we remember. The sense of danger and the thrill are most convincing. Alice Hollister plays the girl with Earle Fox and R.G. Vignola as two railroaders, rivals for her affection. The former wins her; the latter fixes things so that the freight will run away and at a time when it had bee» ordered to make a siding to let a passenger train pass. The girl lakes the desperate chance and side tracks one train just in time to save her lover's train from a catastrophe. It is all very well done indeed and the offering will be liked greatly. The camera work is of high order. - The Moving Picture World, February 1, 1913
