#SYNOPSIS: When Union spies steal an engineer's beloved locomotive, he pursues it single-handedly and straight through enemy lines.
#INTERESTINGGGGG INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILM:
Buster Keaton always said that this was his favorite of his own movies.
In the train crash, a dummy was used as the engineer. It looked so realistic that the townspeople who had come to watch screamed in horror.
The first try at getting the cannonball to shoot out of the cannon into the cab caused the ball to shoot with too much force. To cause it to shoot into the cab of the engine correctly, Buster Keaton had to count out the grains of gunpowder with tweezers.
In the scene where Johnnie and Annabelle refill the water reservoir of the train, Marion Mack said in an interview many years later that she had no idea that she was supposed to get drenched. Buster Keaton had not told her what was supposed to happen, so the shock you see is genuine.
For the scene in which The Texas crashes through the bridge, Keaton spared no expense, using six cameras and thousands of local extras. It cost nearly $50,000 at the time and was the most expensive single shot of the entire silent movie era. The Texas itself remained in the river until WWII, when it was salvaged for scrap iron.
