@DailyBrusher Yes, it was indeed a movie short titled "The Singing Brakeman" produced by Columbia Pictures with a copyright date of 1930. In it, he does three songs, including "Waiting for a Train", "Daddy and Home", and "Blue Yodel No.1", ("T For Texas.") A fine print of the entire 9 1/4 minute film is posted on YouTube under the title: "Waiting for a Train/Daddy and Home/Blue Yodel." A YouTube search on "Jimmie Rodgers" brings it up fourth in the list of hits.

@GuitarzanOO50 I haven't been able to listen to that one since my Daddy passed in 2003, but I do love that song.

@DailyBrusher I believe it is called The Singing Brakeman. I think it was a short film that was played before a feature film. It was done around 1929.

I love Jimmie Rodgers. My Dad & I were always amazed at how he did the train whistle.

Anybody know the date on this? What movie is it from?

I love it!! Thanks so much for posting!
OMG, how did he imitate a steam engine's whistle at the beginning of the song like that? Amazing!
