THE RAILRODDER

A screen short starring Buster Keaton, this is one of the last films of the comedian's long career. As "the railrodder" he crosses Canada from east to west on a railway track speeder. As might be expected, the film is full of sight gags as Keaton putt-putts his way to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout, and Keaton is as spry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the days of the silent slapsticks. Film without words.

This brought me pleasure.
I haven't seen this since I was 6, it's one of my earliest memories of seeing something on the television.

Apparently this model of Fairmont has an infinite fuel tank capacity. Notice how he never refuelled once.

6:43 Anyone else notice that they used a CV GP9 instead of a CN one?

Doctor Who has the TARDIS. Buster Keaton has his little Fairmont's center console.
