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: I haven't decided. Either Imperial ICL College London, Bristol or Edinburgh probably.
gollark: Why does that matter?
gollark: Maybe you'll need a step-down transformer but that's easy enough.
gollark: Or fixing it yourself. It can't be that hard. Just get some really long wires and crocodile-clip them to the big power lines which are still working.
gollark: Sounds inefficient compared to just using time travel.
