Goofs
When the 2 tramps are taking the express trunk for the station, it is dark outside when they open the door. Looking through the window next to the door, it is light outside. It's also light outside when tramps get outside of the station. The same happens when the telegraph operator leaves the station.

A Must for Those Interested in History of Cinema.

A short film with simple story, but a clearly significant film. This film is featured on the 'Landmarks of Early Film' DVD and is a must for those with an interest in the cinema.

The lead female is played by Dorothy Bernard, an attractive lady of the time and showing an independence and assertiveness that can surprise some given the time period. Vintage films can often show that females were not always portrayed as the down-trodden gender, that the current politically correct vogue would have us believe.

The train chase in the film, taking into account the age of the film is a treat, and reminiscent of 'The General' (made some 15 years later).

In summary a must view for those interested in or studying the history of cinema.
