Production notes

  • The film was shot in Jacksonville, Florida.
  • In 1915, JP McGowan made a remake of The Railroad Raiders of '62 in The Hazards of Helen series #19, with Helen Holmes.
  • Buster Keaton was inspired by the story of The Railroad Raiders of '62, the raid of James J. Andrews, to shoot The General in 1926.
  • This is only one of three films depicting Andrews' Raid. The other two films were The General (1926), and The Great Locomotive Chase (1956).

gollark: There's probably some patent or whatever behind it. But you can likely use VLC/ffmpeg for free anyway. Or your browser.
gollark: It could be argued that bees, but no.
