[@stevenbowron1287]

It's truly remarkable to see all of those actors in one place doing such crazy things simply fantastic

[@armorpro573]

Especially since all these stunts were performed for real

[@sananto6896]

Damn, these early actors and stunt dudes had courage. Some of the stunts are freaking scary.

[@LowbrowProds]

No argument here....

[@BaltoJoey]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! What a fantastic video. You've combined 3 of my favorite interests, old movies, music and trains. THANK YOU for posting this!! Joe

[@BgMsDangerus]

This is absolutely hilarious. Flew over Chattanooga once in a Cessna 150 when we started singing this song. Except I was singing..."pardon me boys, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes."

[@slatibaadfast]

As a kid in the 60's my old man used to have heaps of the old silent films on 8 and 16mm. many of them you've used in this clip. brings back many fond memories. even though they were silent films, those guys were real actors and stunt persons. not just stunt men as some women were really good at it too. all from the days of vaudeville. thanks from an old guy in Australia

[@LowbrowProds]

Thank you for your remembrances. They sound very familiar to my own. I also grew up in the 60's and would constantly rent out the slightly battered super 8 Blackhawk prints from my local libraries. As I got older I would bike downtown to my arts museum and watch vivid 35mm pints of the great clowns. Now I own beautifully restored blu ray prints of everything available. It is a great time to be a silent comedy enthusiast.....

[@lesafowers8142]

😂I would love to know what you have and mostly what are your favorite silent films!!! It my become my favorite form of film as well!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@slatibaadfast]

@@lesafowers8142 I've nothing of those old reels left. In 1967 we moved for my father's posting and the removalists just happen to 'lose' the crates with all the movies. Keaton, the keystone cops, sennet, Marx bros, Chaplin. Great comics from the silent and early talkies. We often had movie nights, friends and colleagues would come around, have dinner and then we'd all sit and watch 8 and 16mm movies.

[@davidbpearson2]

Few people will realize how good this is.

[@owenmccarthy2521]

It’s amazing how so many of these silent film actors actually… lived after making their movies

[@LowbrowProds]

Those who died relatively young in their 40's - Arbuckle, Semon, Hamilton, Max Linder....- was due more to alcohol and stress than from their profession (although it was their profession that caused the stress......) One apocryphal story was about ex-Karno comedian Billie Ritchie, who may or may not have died from injuries two years after being attacked on a film set by an ostrich. But most of our great comedians lived to their 70's - including Keaton who courted death many times over in achieving some fantastic gag or stunt on film.

[@CertifiedDoc]

Oh, they did all kinds of crazy dangerous stuff in early Hollywood. Buster Keaton had two or three close calls in The General alone. And this isn't a silent film, but James Cagney almost died on the set of The Public Enemy back in 1931. It was a gangster film, for which they fired live rounds on set. Some of the bullets flew within a couple inches of Cagney.

[@shaggybreeks]

Also amazing how many of those silent film clips were from talkies.

[@williamjones7163]

Tge special effects were masterful!

[@haileeraestout5567]

[@albertlaura4716]

Thanks. That was wonderful. I used to love to watch those old movies late night on the TV as I was growing up. A lot better than what they call comedy today. Praise God. God Bless You.

[@highspeedboom]

Everyone take a good watch of this, because this type of awesomeness will never come again. The world has moved on...

[@historyman5058]

Great collection of silent movie clips and excellent score! Thank you for sharing!

[@Plazzio]

Chattanooga - TENN the best city ever, and the best town in AMERICA. I had the pleasure to live in this fantastic city from August 1971 till July 1974 - My home was 2114 Chamberlain Ave. 37404 and my tel was 622-3707, I used to work for Burger Chef at Macly Ave. I was born rased in Brasil, but all my relatives are from Italy. Now I'm back in Sao Paulo, but always my heart will be fullfield with the air and perfume of Chattanooga.

[@shannonc.5837]

I’m a huge fan of silent comedies as well as Glenn Miller! This is my favourite song of his, but I don’t believe I’ve heard this version of Chattanooga Choo Choo before. I quite like it! I enjoyed this video very much :)

[@LowbrowProds]

Go search out the 1941 FOX musical Sun Valley Serenade.

[@mjbari3]

Thanks! Lots of my favorite things here: trains, silent comedians, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra! (Even this particular recording of this song!)

[@Awannabestylist]

That is great!! the musoc and the "stunts" are fantastic!! Reminds me of stuff I used to see with morning cartoons when I was a little kid!!

[@LowbrowProds]

Silent comedy was a major motivating factor for the creators of animated cartoons.

[@lesafowers8142]

😂you are exactly right about the cartoons. It also took away silent films and the talkies didn't help either. Some moments it time should have lasted forever but thank god we have all this fabulous footage!!!🖤🖤🖤

[@digimaks]

The most wildest tricks were ever performed, that cannot be repeated nowadays. Many of those actors did get hurt pretty bad during those tricks. Like one where Buster Keaton held onto the water tower, and it washed him down the tracks. In that scene he broke his back or something like that. What's wild- int he same scene he had to run away from cops into the field. Crazy how he could do that while being injured.

This was fabulous, how fun how they incorporated all those old comedy movie stars.

[@NellsStuff]

VERY cool! As a fan of trains and old comedy, this one really is fun to me! Nice to see Buster Keaton, as he was himself a fan of trains. The last scene is from his film The General.

[@LowbrowProds]

Thanks for that history. Which reminds us, this country was built on monopolies.

[@sockshandle]

@@LowbrowProds well I mean there were multiple smaller companies competing along the mainlines of the aforementioned major railways and there was a major railroad in the Midwest and eastern/southern/northern states called the L&N (an economic powerhouse before CSX) surviving through three wars two of which being WWI& WWII

King of swing of all time of course Major Glenn Miller

Miller was more like The King of Commercially Successful recordings. After the band hit the big time they swung less and less than any other organization.

This is a jam (I’m here from the Sid Meier’s Railroads soundtrack) but every time I hear this song I can’t help but think of Fallout 3’s soundtrack, the music from the era that game got its tunes from really bad some great songs.

Even though I'm 17 when I was a kid I loved watching silent movies

[@LowbrowProds]

You should never feel the need to justify that you enjoy watching silent films. I caught my first one (that I remember seeing) when I was around 5 yrs old (it was Chaplin's The Tramp (15) on TV) and I've been watching them ever since.

[@shannonc.5837]

I’m 15, and the first time I watched a silent movie, I was 7. I watched “The Gold Rush” and I remember it terrifying me. I started watching silent movies again just over a year ago, and now I absolutely adore them!

[@NellsStuff]

I KNEW the last shot would be The General! ;-)

I LOVE this awesome video! This is yet energizing up my imagination too. Plus, the tunnel scenario is similar to the scene in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland. Keep this up man!!

[@keithstewart625]

Wonderful! I have not laughed so hard for weeks.

[@ganimed1976]

These guys were stuntmen at its best.

[@LowbrowProds]

They were paid minimally but work consistently and if they survived into old age became some of the best chroniclers of that era in Hollywood.

Wow! Almost every great star from those days is in this. Hard to believe it but they didn't have stunt doubles and did this crazy s%$@ themselves.

[@LowbrowProds]

Since Larry Semon was not a trained stage acrobat (he was a cartoonist) he famously used stunt doubles prolifically and often. But the majority prided themselves in taking their own falls and never thought anything about it.
