Here is some thing I just found on youtube

And the star of King Kong to boot!

"Danger Lights" was a real showcase for modern Milwaukee Road steam. Notice how the Milwaukee Road rectangle herald is on the steam chests of all the locos and on the engine men's coveralls. Some shameless self-promotion there.   

I have long felt that this was the best "steam action" film I've seen.

Jon you're correct about Robert Armstrong being in "King Kong," as well as, "The Son of Kong" and "Mighty Joe Young."

Wow.  Interesting, old movie.

On a similar note, we were watching McConoughey and D'Onofrio in The Newton Boys last night.  I had forgotten how much of that movie involved trains - even in the cab  of a big steamer.  Great movie, too.

If you want steam action, this sure has it.

So, now it's up on the 'tube.

I had a copy on both VHS and Beta (that's video tape for you young 'uns...)

found it interesting that they filmed this on the electrified division, but showed only steam.
