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: They kind of already have, but pretty mild ones.
gollark: There was a buffer or something it needed which didn't seem to exist because of me hackily patching stuff together, so I just assumed 512 bytes was enough.
gollark: There are probably horrible issues in the code I hackily tweaked, but I can't see them and it doesn't cause immediate crashing, so I ignored it.
gollark: It leaks 28 bytes of memory once, because I thought it wasn't worth adding extra code to deallocate it on exit.
gollark: Although the current version, as far as I can tell, lacks any issues except a *minor* memory leak.
