I love this film, but it's usually better with the sound off , except for the version released in 1995, scored entirely with Scott Joplin. The soundtrack was copyrighted in 1994 and had a limited release on VHS in 1995 in honor of Keaton's100th birthday. I've never heard such an enjoyable silent film score until this one. I have posted 2 clips from the 16mm film (never released). A live piano presentation of this version is being planned in the Phila. area, a new release on DVD to follow.
The soundtrack The General on Netflix is very good. I think it's the 2003 version with the Alloy Orchestra. It fits in with the action and has an ambient train sound. If you can watch movies instantly on netflix I recommend you check it out.

It's cool but, why doesn't it have music ? Is my computer screwing up or is it completely silent ?

I uploaded it silent. Sorry, I know it's more entertaining with music.
