Monster Locomotive Rally

Where did rednecks take their dates before there were monster truck rallies to go to?

This is a clip from an old railroading movie, "Danger Lights" (1930). This movie is in the public domain.

"Danger Lights" was shot in a wide screen 65mm format so what you are seeing here is somewhat less than originally intended.

AWESOME!!! BTW was this contest done in real life by RR companies, or was it just a climatic scene for the movie?

I presume this one was staged for the cameras, but that it was an activity they might typically do anyway for special events.

@robcat2075 i would be shocked if there was any real documents from the Milwaukee Road that a real Locomotive Tug A War really happened for a special event.
