Our Hospitality , Buster Keaton. Shawn you really REALLY need to Netflix the entire movie. Second only to The General also by Keaton, as best RR movie ever.

I enjoyed the floating on air feeling of the ride. :slight_smile:

Shawn, thanks for posting… It’s a great video… wife and I both loved it… :slight_smile:

I have seen both those movies and they are great. I would recommend them to any train or movie buff.
I like in the video clip how the dog follows them all the way to the end then Buster is surprised to see him.
I wonder if that train ever derailed over that crazy track?

Anybody up to modeling that? The track work would be the hardest part!

Next time maybe they will hire a surveyor and some graders. That is near as my track work!

If anyone wants to see more of this train and another terrific short, google The Iron Mule, when Keaton loaned the train to his friend Fatty Arbuckles studio, its a very funny short along the same theme.

The entire film is on u-tube… for those too cheap for netflix.
