If you can get a steam locomotive, and 11 carriages, up a near 45 degree incline on a few pepper corns as fuel, you must be some kind of mechanical genius. This train should not be looked down on.
I really liked this episode not just because it's a part of my childhood, but it in fact touched a real subject on the railroads. It was the 1930s, streamline technology was new trend in railroading, and with that brought diesels too. From their introduction, the diesels sought to replace steam, a very trying battle between the two.
andymate2006 You must had the 1967 redrawn color version, which actually KILLED the originality of the cartoon. The 1992 colorized version was much better.
2:11 is my favorite part when the cars split at that junction. It only happens for a second, but so much detail was put into that scene to make it flow realistically. I love animation like that
1937 back when the old steam locomotives Flagg Coal Co. # 75 and Lehigh Valley Coal Co. #126 were around as well as Number 85 (Built by the Vulcan Iron Works for the A.E. Dick Construction Company.) and Number 7 (Built by the American Locomotive Company for Coronet Phosphate in February, 1920.)
What Porky did with the siding is an actual railroad manuever! It is called a "Saw-By Meet" for when one train is longer than a siding. both trains stop. though. Train A is longer than the siding. It pulls into the siding as far as it can without blocking the main line. Train B pulls forward until train A can get by. Train A leaves the siding, and train B continues on its way once the line is clear.
There is also such a move , whereby if BOTH trains are longer than the rail siding, both trains are still able to pass each other. It is called a "Double Saw-By Meet." Albeit, one train must be strategically split apart in order to do so. The train needing be split apart later couples up the remainder of its train, then, proceeds along with way. Of course, any such move involves time spent. Nothing can be done about it.
0:28 love the intro. It has the excitement of a fast-moving train, and the awesome animation. You got the bell shots, and the backing instrumentals at 0:34. Awesome.
I love this :) Back when animation was done by hand cell by cell with no help from computers. Right into my ANIMATION playlist. Thank you CC Cartoons :) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
MrMegaFredZeppelin For me personally, hand-drawn animation is easier, since you just draw what you want with a pencil onto the paper and then trace it either digitally or by hand later (oh, and there’s something about an X-plot, but I suppose it’s not *too* much of a hassle), whereas with CG animation you need to learn how to use the software, and it’s *tiring* to learn how to properly add the UV map, and the texture, and the roughness and the bumps, and the lighting... Like, I’m not saying hand-drawn animation is easy on its own or that anyone can do it (especially of *this* astounding quality), but it’s far simpler for me, at least, to wrap my head around.
The 1930s, 40s, and 50s: generations that will forever be in a class of their own. I sat through this whole video and enjoyed every second of it. Show it to any other teen my age, and they'll back out after 20 seconds
This is my favorite Porky Pig cartoon, and with amazingly high quality!!! But the bull used to scare me! I've never seen this version, of only seen the color version! I think I like this version better!
These were "adult" cartoons. Animations fascinated kids but the overall story line could only be understood by adults. Loved watching these before I got shuffled off to the indoctrination center each morning.
In that scene, what Porky says when he pulls the bull’s tail is ”So, you won’t walk, eh? I’ll show you four-legged piece of hamburger. (unintelligible). 😂😂😂
This was the last of two cartoons to use the fast-paced version of the "Porky Signature" title theme music, the other being _Porky's Badtime Story_ (July 24, 1937). I often wonder if the computer-colorized prints of some of the 1941 and early '42 shorts took this opening cue from either one of these two 1937 shorts.
The 515 in this cartoon is two different locomotives. The one from the beginning intro (0:27) and the siding scene (2:27) is a 4-6-4 Hudson type. All the other shots of the 515 show it as a 4-4-2 atlantic type. Two different locomotives. Most likely that they are on two separate lines.
@@jvgreendarmok The Atlantic's steam chests suddenly have two round cylinders, and the thrid dome and whistle are missing. Must have been through an overhaul at some point.
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory Given the way the shots are edited together (and that they all have the same number), all three designs are presumably meant to be the same loco. Director Frank Tashlin doesn't seem to have been too concerned about keeping designs on-model, check out the cat in "Brother Brat", who appears in three or four shots and looks different in each one. :-)
+zacharyhammersmith As a matter of fact, this was Mel's 6th cartoon as Porky's voice. Also, 2 Looney Tunes cartoons after this one, the new Looney Tunes theme song, "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" debuted in the Looney Tunes intro.
3:48, when Porky is blubbering; it really sounds like Mel Blancs' voice was played in reverse!! Hope that you out in the Audience can check it out PLEASE? OK!! SN.APR.21.2024A.D.!!
Yeah, I did. So what? WHO...CARES?! That was then, this is now. I'm not letting any r****t reference get to me, because, IMHO, this toon is STILL a fun thing to watch. Frankly, I found the reference funny, nevertheless (I say this, and I'm BLACK!).
@ Thank you I wish more people thought the way you did. My “yikes” wasn’t so much along the lines of “this is terrible let’s destroy the cartoon and those who created it” but more along the lines of “this is going to get this destroyed what a shame”. Their weird thing is that I hadn’t heard or thought of that image/reference in at least 40 years. Ugly. While I try not to judge the past by today’s standards it’s still one of many memories that turn my stomach. That being said, my father (who probably saw this when he was just a kid in the 30s) thought Porky Pig’s way of speaking was so silly he could never suppress his laughter. That’s my primary memory of these types of cartoons.
Very topical. The Silver Fish is the new streamliners like the Zephyrs. A crack train is a fast train, top of the line, luxury, etc. Nothing to do with drugs.
Please help, does anyone know about an episode where porky's driving an old beated up car that wreckes in the beat of the Conga song (*dada dada da BOOM!*) and then just explodes? Lol

This train should not be looked down on.
Let's not forget how fast she shoved off during that bull scene... That's faster than most cars can accelerate
@Epicthomas 2000 That would be an upside-down 45-degree incline
Not to mention the braking system.
Totally not.
@@boxcarwillies1603 A very good point.

This short is my favorite use of the tune "California Here I Come" in a Warner Bros. cartoon (whenever they show the 30st Century Limited train.)
If lucky, Toots will end up as a memorial display.
Or restored back to working order
toot's was scraped, recycled into tanks and guns and went to ww2 efforts to lick the axis powers that hirohito and hitler was a part of.
@@roadmaster720 I'll be honest, that makes the most sense
Toots is fixed. She works out. She can be fine

That’s what they were trying to do in Unstoppable in the scene where the boxcar exploded
@@williamh.jarvis6795 I can never understand why that can't be worked out with scheduling or simply having two tracks for long distance routes.
From a time when cartoons were meant for an adult audience. First class animation. An all-time favorite! Thank you for such a fine restoration.
I wonder how it was watching in the theatre
First class alright... when it wasn't showing us a still image! Like going up and down that hill early on.
I could only imagine sitting in a theater watching this back in 1937. Now its all in a smartphone at hands reach.

This cartoon has absolutely fantastic music.
good old classic.

Best name for a railroad president
Released on August 16, 1937
I like this cartoons they never go out of fashion
the song: California here I come. in this can give you the chills with the speeding scenes.
And that’s the story of how the famous streamlined “pork fish” got its name.
Porky is the new engineer on the new train.
Thank you, we added you to our Cartoon Rail Road Playlist, :)
good cartoon too
Porky Pig won in the end.

I just to see this episode as a kid. I like at the end when porky drives the silver fish
Don't make spoilers.
In that scene, what Porky says when he pulls the bull’s tail is ”So, you won’t walk, eh? I’ll show you four-legged piece of hamburger. (unintelligible). 😂😂😂
Wasn't that Billy Bletcher voicing Mr. Silverfish? He sounded like Pegleg Pete from those Disney cartoons!
Yeah, he did voice work for a few shorts. One of the most well-known is the riverboat tycoon in 'Mississippi Hare.'
He also did the roaring goon in Porky in Wackyland.
It is, and it's the same role that old Pete would play.
Also, was that Candy Candido as the bull?
One of my favorite episodes
They're legends!

I will show you you four legged piece of hamburger! LOL

I loved this episode it was awsome
Toots The Little Red Engine Is My Favorite Character Locomotive
She’s the one that wins the race
I love the music when the cow was in the way
Armani Lepiŕ its a bull
Oh god the memories watching this as a little child
Porky Pig was so cute back then and now, too. :)
Released before August 1948.
TQ for upload this video .. because I can see again ... Wan I still kid
The bull gave Porky and Toots the drive to win to become the new conductor of The Silver Fish
I used to watch this one in color as a kid. Can’t find it anywhere on YT. Aw, well!
5:27 if you're looking for the "n**ger in the woodpile" reference. Also, the top of the line train being called "Silver Fish" is hilarious.
6:26-6:37 NOW we're talkin' Bull-et train! XD

Silver Fish, more like silver streak, you get it if ya know what movie train from 1976 I’m talking about.
“You stupid, ignorant, sonofabitch damn bastard!”
What did Porky do to be the train engineer of the Porky Pig Railroad?
Toots is a Female Engine who loves to win.
@ She was.
She was busy throughout something important.

Hey, you're right! Maybe different animators were working from different reference pictures.
Even though you can't see the wheels in the opening front-view, the front of the loco looks completely different.
It also looks slightly different at 0:45, mostly because some details aren't included.
