Rusty,
Thank you for posting this video.
Very interesting film and full of suspense!
Where was it filmed? Number boards look like SP.
I loved the WE ALL SMOKE part of the ad before the short.
When Helen put the TO on a post in the middle of the track, was that proper according to the rules of the time, or just part of the plot?
Very good video. Thanks for posting.
Now that's something - full of the high-tech gear of the day. Thanks Rusty 
I like her note - "Injectors open and oil burning..." That would've shut up those like us watching and muttering,"Yeah, but what about the coal? A steam engine needs water too ya know..." 
Lettering on the rear of the tender indicates the loco running light was from the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad. So perhaps filmed in the LA area, though that's just a guess on my part.

SP and UP did hve common standards before the two broke up.....
If this was filmed on the UP, what about the drawbridge? Neither train ran over it.
