Buster Keaton Rides A Train – 1923 – VERY FUNNY!
Comedian Buster Keaton was a pioneer of silent comedies in the 1920’s.
Keaton loved trains and had Stephenson’s Rocket recreated along with just on a mile of rickety track just for this film. Will the train stay on the track? It is kinda crazy, but an historic masterpiece.

That’s great! Buster was always the best!
And we can’t even keep up with our trains on our own layouts! LOL
The good old days when folks had a good sense of HUMER. Buster was a real comedian. Not like the comedians they have to-day that can only talk filth.
I never saw this one before, it is great. I have the General and one of his last, The Railrodder. He did this one for the Canadian Travel Board a few years before he died.
AMAZING IT MANAGED TO STAY ON THE TRACKS.
WOW what fun.
Just the films my granddad used to show. I was brought up silent movie genres. Great.
Thank you, I needed the laugh today, VERY FUNNY!!! If I lived back then I would have liked to take a ride on it, It looks like fun.
Looks like Dewitt-Clinton ain’t got nothing on Buster. Great film

Think of this when looking at the video clip.
The man throwing the stones at the engineer does not really want to hurt the engineer.
This is his way of getting cheap firewood for his home.
