    For a one time movie that was a fine replica. It is not like people in a 1923 will walk out of the movie because it was not exactly like the real one. It look a lot like it and it is not like everyone is going to see that. And you can not argue that those where some of the best steam locomotive stunts ever. Hats off to the maker of it.

    Ironically, the lousy track conditions in the U.S. drove some major improvements in locomotive technology. The extensive use of a pivoted lead guiding truck in front of the driving wheels and of "equalizers" on coupled driving axles (to handle bumps in the track) were both American innovations developed to handle very rough track, but they ended up becoming nearly universal steam locomotive features.

    The fact that there was a director and cast and crew who thought to preserve in film for the 1923 audience what a 1829 train ride experience was meant they did not take for granted the expansion and technological advances of the railroad system. These men were looking back in admiration for the simple not in a feeling of superiority.
    Or they understood that future is not inherently progressive.

    So Buster Keaton was a train enthusiast and set this movie in the 1830's to include Rocket? I guess most people in 1923 didn't know the Rocket was a British locomotive and he thought it fit his slapstick comedy.

    All I can see here is the panicle of danger. Being a Stationary Operating Engineer, I hope this engineer is keeping track of his steam pressure and boiler water level. He has no fireman to regulate the boilers operation. The engineer has to do it all including braking the train. I sure hope this locomotive had a safety pressure valve and in addition the engineer had to stop the train to fix the track? I know this is a movie but I just have to believe there were many fatalities during the infancy of trains during this time period as a means of transportation.

      And you had brakemen running on top of the box cars to set and release the brakes. Imagine doing that on a dark night, sharp curves and grades and its' snowing like hell and the running boards are covered in ice. George Westinghouse saved a LOT of lives.

    Early American lines, which Keaton was apparently poking fun at, maybe weren't *quite* that bad, but some came pretty close. They had a lot of land to cover and not much money, so they were often laid on the cheap. British lines were another story. Rocket's actual railway, the Liverpool and Manchester, was laid arrow-straight, with cuts being blasted through ridges and huge viaducts built over valleys. The British had huge amounts of capital to spend on such works.
