What's his name? Is he on IMDB anywhere?

that's awesome. poor dude was just eating a sandwich

How much did they pay him to get cut in half for the movie?

Where is the water tower located?

As a child i wanted to live in a place like this

Assuming there was anything left of him.

Shack eventually got the karma he had coming to him.

@@fanmaxis3004 I'm glad to see you commented on a sentence I wrote at least 2 years ago.

@MrJuvefrank maybe that's cause I just now came across this video. You should be grateful people are commenting on your posts at all. No matter how far in time

@@fanmaxis3004 I thought being glad was just as nice as being grateful. If you say grateful in a nicer word, then I'm grateful.

2:46 for me

I don't think he learned anything as I believe he died under the wheels of the freight cars. I don't see why Shack couldn't have just thrown him off?

Into violence against your fellow man there bruh?

You need professional help.

And don’t forget him in an early role as the mean-spirited Lyle on Bad Day At Black Rock.

Definitely not a nice guy like Lt. Commander Quinton McHale....

I had a great uncle who worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was a fireman and worked his way up to engineer. It was around the time period this movie takes place. He's been dead for 40 years but I remember him. I don't remember him (or his sister who was my grandmother) telling me any stories of such violence by the conductors as in this movie. Perhaps it was the area. I know he used to work the New York City to Washington DC trains.

@@retroguy9494 It was realistic in the sense of how the railroad crew functioned and some of the operations. Shack was a realistic representation of a tough old head conductor who didn’t put up with any crap. Killing hoboes is the Hollywood part. Although Chucky supposedly took a knife from a would-be mugger one time and threatened to kick my butt for failing to sit in the seat he told me to sit in in the taxi that was taking us to our train. I had a lot of old head conductors yell at me in my early years of railroading, some for as trifling offenses as touching their paperwork.

@@azrailroader Okay I understand now. I, too, remember some of those old school head conductors when I worked in New York City when I got out of college in the late 1980's and rode the train. These guys back THEN had over 30 years with the railroad. They still wore the 3 piece railroad uniforms and some even still wore their pocket watches with the chain on their waistcoats. They were really nice to the passengers, especially their regulars, but you could also tell they really knew their stuff and didn't take any disorderly conduct. I remember one time I overslept a little and literally had to run after the train as it was already pulling out of the station. This old school conductor named George who knew me as a regular passenger on his train stood on the bottom step of the car and said "'c'mon you can make it" and literally grabbed my arm and pulled me up into the car. He then patted me on the back and said "you're alright kid; but next time don't call it so close!"

Ah the good ol days. When u could kill a man for taking a free ride on a train. God I miss those days.

@@Boudica234 hahahaha

The depression was a HORRIBLE time for SO many men. The hobos weren't bad people or criminals. They just wanted to look wherever they could hoping to find work. And if you had your job, your house, etc. taken from you and couldn't even afford to eat, how could you pay for passenger rail service? Of course, all this changed with FDR once he got government work programs like the CCC and the WPA up and running.

what does the profession version do differently? Like a theater version?

Can't wait to see it. Age of Steam roundhouse!!!

Great!

Glad to hear it. She sat virtually abandoned in the old Yreka Western shops in northern California for a lot of years. I used to make it a point to stop and visit her when traveling between Oregon and California.

Will be done by next winter

As our society continues it's inexorable decline, something tells me we'll be seeing more trains like this in the future, if there are any trains running at all. Back to the future, baby!

Too many straight white men to be considered for Disney+. 😁

@@jamesage24 not really, I mean the fireman on the 19 is black. And normally in the depression era, it would have been an all white crew aboard the train. So technically, this is one of the first films to have diversity in a film that takes place during the depression.

@@ishirotanaka exactly and op needs to just shut up no one cares that your a right wing jerk

He wasn't psychopathic. He just didn't want bums riding his train for free.

@@TDL-xg5nn Well, maybe he wasn't a psychopath, perhaps sociopath would be more accurate, given his utter lack of concern for the fates of the hobos he clouts with hammers and chains.

@@jamesd2128 Fair point.

Couldnt have been, I saw this scene as a kid in the 90s, burned the image in my head, I never knew what the movie was called till a few years ago.

@@doct0rnic I saw this on VHS rental in the mid 80's, sure my childish mind edited that bit out.
