That train crash cost 42 grand that was a-lot of money back then.
-
Poor little train. :(
-
Good, at least it's not rusting away.
-
They actually removed it during World War II to use the metal in the war effort. :)

Same book is where I got it, I also have another book that has a photo of a crew all over a locomotive in a river and they said it was her, but the stack was wrong. One of these days I'll go down to cottage Grove and hike the Row River, I'll have to post my findings here.
-
Maybe this is true, I have an old book titled; This Was Railroading and it states she is still in the river. You could be right, as the source I quote is rather old.
-
Further digging on my end says they took her out and scraped her during the war, but maybe she was just covered with mud, who knows.
-
I have also read that this locomotive still lies in the Row River.
-
Yup. On location in Cottage Grove and Eugene, Oregon. Reason: narrow gauge track was still very common (and widely in use) in Oregon. He also used Oregon guardsmen as extras. Way cool.

If I heard right in Keaton's biography, this was shot in Cottage Grove, Oregon. Anyone know for sure? Off on an info search I go...

How and where did you obtain color footage of this? Did you remaster it or did they actually film a color version of it? This is amazing! If you can pot the entire movie in color here...that'd be sweet!
