5.0 out of 5 stars Top Gun of 1930, April 30, 2004

By

This review is from: Danger Lights RKO (1930-USA) MC-109 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is like the Top Gun of 1930. It shows all of the latest technology in railroading at that time. It features a well maintained modern main line with big, modern steam locomotives. The signaling system and tower control was all 1930 state of the art. Since so many people were involved with railroading back then many of the little actions the actors did would only be picked up by a railroader. Examples are the engineer blowing a long and three shorts in the opening scene for the brakeman to protect the rear of the train and later Larry Dole doing a roll-by of the locomotive leaving the roundhouse. Aside from Larry cooling the hot-box on the fly (no railroader would trust that bearing after getting that hot) the movie is a time capsule of railroading in 1930 with a hollywood love story thrown in to make a storyline. Overall an excellent railroad movie. I wish they would clean it up and make a DVD version.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Steam Engine Movie, October 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Danger Lights RKO (1930-USA) MC-109 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For all steam engine train buffs, this is the movie to get. The film features roundhouse, yardage, switching, and a great scene going into the Chicago railway yards in the 1930's. The main figure, Armstrong, is the same hero in the 1930's version of 'King Kong'.

Since I was a kid, I have always loved trains. This 1930's B&W movie is a great watch. Outstanding steam footage and a 100mph race across the country to save a dying man. There is of course a love triangle here, but that just adds to the story.
