- This is a replica of an 1829 Stephenson's Rocket built for the 1923 film "Our Hospitality."
You can watch the full movie here: • Buster Keaton - Our Ho...
The locomotive also appeared in "The Iron Mule" (1925) • The Iron Mule (1925) A...
After that movie, nobody knows where the replica locomotive went.

How the train managed to run on this track without derailing is unimaginable.
Well, it is going fairly slowly - it that speed bump at 1:30 was certainly insane. Was it just that much effort to move the log out of the way?
Derailing wasn't invended back then
Because it's maglev. They added wheels only to avoid people dying from futuristic shock seeing it
actually the train did derail a Little bit Because if You look at the scene when the train goes over the giant log If You look closely at the wheels at the back of the Train's "tender" it derailed so the log only derailed the "tender" but not the Entire train as the rest of the train stayed on the tracks
@@MrHerrkac😂😂
These old Buster Keaton movies truly are, priceless relics.
They don't make'm like this any more.
They really did put the replica through its paces, didn't they. My jaw dropped every time it didn't derail.
In the filming of this episode, which was in the early 20th century, it may have derailed in the process of producing the comic, but of course that would have been edited out.
My teeth rattled every time they went over a bump!

What have I just watched? Was it actually done and when!? Very funny and quite clever too! Anyone know now in September2023? Cheers
The old guy had it figured out! He was able to get free wood - cut, split and delivered to him. Smart!

How creative of those "old time" movie makers , how the F**k did that train not fall of the tracks while going over or around such bad track laying skills or obstacles? , I think that these people did a great job of such simple "cartoon type" stunts & with NO computer imagery either unlike today's techno stunt scenes ; well done to all who made this movie & Many Thanks for uploading this timeless film to the internet.
watching this movie you do understand where the big things came from. Amazing video. Also you understand that these things were done by men who had their heads on their shoulders and they were not engineers but they believed in something that shaped the history. Big respect for them
I think the little brooms in front of the drive wheels is hilarious. An accurate and hilarious portrail of the hazards of early railroading!
Niesamowity filmik. Pomysłowość przodków bardzo kreatywna, najfajniejszy moment to ten z przejazdem przez złamane drzewo. No i ta wytrwałość pieska. Super.
The railways haven't changed much. Little gem of a film.
This is Buster Keaton's silent feature "Our Hospitality." As a Keaton fan, it's so interesting to read all the comments from classic American railroads experts. I'm glad to know Keaton and his team did great job on recreating the train. Keaton's "General" is also great. It's safe to say the protagonist of the movie is the train "General" itself.
SENSACIONAL VIDEOS
From A Buster Keaton movie. Buster had replicas built for the movie
Our Hospitality was the film, love it!!
Testing of the proposed HS2 line has begun. There have been a few cut backs appparently!
Ironically, the lousy track conditions in the U.S. drove some major improvements in locomotive technology. The extensive use of a pivoted lead guiding truck in front of the driving wheels and of "equalizers" on coupled driving axles (to handle bumps in the track) were both American innovations developed to handle very rough track, but they ended up becoming nearly universal steam locomotive features.
700,000 views. Awesome. I love it that you folks are into railroad history.
Very very funny
Yes, trains fascinate me and this one is really different
I’m in it for the donkey
thanks for uploading it
My dad used to work in a rail company and we used to travel by train for free twice a year. We still live in the company house. We Dire Dawans (Ethiopia) have much attachment with trains as the city started along with the establishment of the company. Sadly now the company is almost dead 😔
the tenacity of that dog is unbelievable 😄
The fact the "dog" wasn't on the train with It's owners Get Me triggered
That trackwork, would be deemed safe by NCB standards
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!
And so by BNSF too.
Its way back in early iron horse days of course there that great
Lol
I really get amazed at some of these old boilers. Steam power was first generated about 500 years before they figured out what to do with it!
Love the dog closely following the train, ha!
It's amazing how the coaches stay on the tracks..
That was my grand pappy throwing those rocks.
But he got fire wood in return!
@@nightlightabcd work smarter, not harder, I always say.
Very smart man!
Prove it liar
I’m stupid I just read the description
An amazing piece of history. Ten out of ten!
It's actually the prototype for the new high speed rail connection between Sydney and Melbourne. Very advanced.
Psh, as if we could ever get the track from Melbourne to Augury half as smooth as this is.
A rocket era tão lenta que o maquinista podia simplesmente sair dela e acompanhar correndo, simplesmente impressionante
totally amazing how things haven't changed very much
What do you mean?
wait, what ?
Well, two rails
Bruce Lean people opposed to public transportation?
Yes I suppose the sun still exists
For a one time movie that was a fine replica. It is not like people in a 1923 will walk out of the movie because it was not exactly like the real one. It look a lot like it and it is not like everyone is going to see that. And you can not argue that those where some of the best steam locomotive stunts ever. Hats off to the maker of it.
that's one of the best and funniest bits of film I've ever seen ....classic film,,,
Great fun - very whimsical. The locomotive and carriages look very authentic.
+Roger Griffith The track looks more like current Australian mainlines.
John Sergei Ikr
За все время существования кино изменились только спецэффекты. Все зависит от качества сценария, идеи, таланта актёров. Отличный фильм !!!
a very early film of 1920s with the great Buster Keaton. I watched it as a child...
You that old? LOL
The public library in my town showed silent films every Saturday in the 1960’s.
4:10 - The first parallel ride in history. ;)
Thanks for the comment, this movie was in in the middle of the night and I hit record once I realized what I was seeing, I agree with steamboy51. I didn't catch the movie early enough so missed a few of the railroad scenes. Have to check to see if the film is public domain, it might be
@@gabrielboateng1292 he needed fire wood, so he started throwing things at the guy running the locomotive, who threw back all he had, which was fire wood!
Happy 98th anniversary to this documentary
@Edu Yan Read the description my man
Спасибо! Отлично отвлекает от нынешнего сумасшествия.
That part when they were going over the log made me die of laughter!
OMG I can't get over that off rail train! lol
That track is crazy!
Another great feature by Buster Keaton. I enjoyed very much both this one and "The General".
This replica is powered by a Model T Ford engine and gearbox, notice the differential on the trailing wheels behind the firebox.
Also notice the loco doesn't chuff steam from the chimney as it ambles along
stephenson is my great great great great uncle
@@anniestephenson86 me too his wife Frances Henderson (Roberts mother) was my 5? Great grandmother. Esther Henderson. So he was an uncle by marriage and Robert a blood cousin.
Well this is cool you are kind of related
He's buried not far from where I live
@@anniestephenson86 Wow are you based in England?
my Siamese is a great great great great descendant of Stephensons pet cat
This is the neatest thing I've ever seen, yet!!! love this!!!
Looks like such a smooth ride.
Amazing this is from here the journey by the railways started & Stephenson name will always be remembered because he was the one who invented it
This is adorable. That's the only word I can think of to describe it! The whole railway built over a log as a bump in the track. Priceless!
This is so awesome! Much love from Canada. What a wonderful tribute to the ancestors
Amazing footage, and such skill in creating this train and trackage. Buster got some of his ideas for "The General" from this.
Even though an old film, it is really creative and interesting .
I laughed my ass off
Awesome! Loved every bit of it
The fact that there was a director and cast and crew who thought to preserve in film for the 1923 audience what a 1829 train ride experience was meant they did not take for granted the expansion and technological advances of the railroad system. These men were looking back in admiration for the simple not in a feeling of superiority.
Or they understood that future is not inherently progressive.
Much better than today's TV and no commercials
This is the same 'rocket' that was in thomas and friends! Wow
Its not like the Thomas and Friends locomotives are based on real engines or anything
Buster Keaton set the movie in 1830 and had the replica of Roket built for the film.
Moving the track to get around the donkey cracked me up
Love this, so added to a playlist...
Liverpool and Manchester loco with Baltimore and Ohio passenger wagons. The tracks look like the Chicago Transit Authority after Bruce Rauner’s budget impasse. This train still goes faster and more reliably than the trains I take to work in Chicago.
Wonderful travelling with funny situations. Thanks.
A marvel of invention.
4:16 The coaches can roll faster than the "rocket".. LOL
"rocket" means the locomotive
@@geebaco5671 obviously
those trees are probably still there.
Not likely as this was filmed in Pomona if I remember what I read and thats all been developed.
That time was so simple and much better than 2021
Замечательная комедия!
Very interesting effects!
There is a trolley line in Mandan North Dakota, that runs out to Fort Abraham Lincoln, and back. This trolley line has a section of track that very much resembles the track in this footage.
Bloody brilliant.
Great video. Enjoyed it
TODO EL VIDEO ES SUPER LOS CARRUAJES LOS PASAJEROS EL POLVO EL ASNO EL PERRITO QUE SUPER OBSERVEN Y RIAN Y SIGAN OBSERVANDO EL VIDEO
Как раньше такое было возможно а сейчас нет, чтобы вагоны с рельсов не сходили!? Сейчас чуть что, трамваи с рельс сходят :(, а тут даже через камни и брёвна перескакивает - и ничего!
@toyotaprius79 check out the description of the video, it's REPLICA built for the 1923 film. Oh how I hate having to repeat myself
My fiances grandmother (98) is the niece of Robert Stevenson
2:00 Note: They did straighten the track for the film footage shot from the side. An amazing film. I wonder if the wheels were made with a different design to help accomplish the rickety track visual?
Somebody show some mercy to the dog, plz.
He is running all the way behind the train.
Happy 192th anniversary to this locomotive
That’s too cool !!! Those tracks look like the highways here in West Virginia!!!
Unreal! The imagination and amount of work it took to do this short scene is truly remarkable. Here we are 100 years later and there are people confused about what gender they are.
We went from crazy trains to crazy people. I'll take the crazy train days 😕
🙄 Transphobia really needed here?
@@poletooke4691 you must be identifying as a licensed psychologist today ..one who is fully capable of rendering diagnosis. That is soooo cool! I never thought of going into the sciences. Thats so deep wow. Ok so in my case your determination was I have a "phobia". I love phobias! Thats cool Dr. Tooke but don't expect me to pay cash for your services. I'm a trans-cat today and I dont have any money to pay you with unless you take a bowl of tuna fish as payment.
Tomorrow is a busy day for me doc..its my day to identify as the Queen of Scotland. So be sure to bow down when you come into my presense..and remain on bended knee until I acknowledge you or you'll be sleeping on your psychologist couch down in the dungeon. Haha. (Being queen can be a nasty business but somebody had to do it..might as well be me. Besides I look stunning with that crown on)
Its wonderful identifying as we wish isn't it Doc! I mean I feel so much better about myself! I'm sure you do too. Free free free to be who we really are inside. That's all that matters isn't it!! And having your love, total support and unwavering respect to be whatever I identify as means everything to me.
Thank you Dr. Tooke. Take care. Opps ..I mean - Meow.

@@rapturebound197 Yeah, Ima just go ahead and also diagnose insanity for that text wall.
@@poletooke4691 feeling triggered?! I know a good psychologist. You know him too.
@@rapturebound197 Not really anything to be triggered by, so no? Just you've gone off the rails is all.
And, I don't know him. Proud atheist.
I was told that the movie company did not build a very long stretch of tracks. After each section was filmed, the track was torn up and placed farther ahead.
wow its more satisfying to watch those steam pistons turn those wheels than watching rockets take off
Thrilled to watch .
Truly amazing
Big salute Mr Stephenson.. great
IT was a beautiful times, extraordinary film...
What a fabulous bit of film, and interestingly note the American style use of wood, rather than coal, for the fire. Thanks for posting.
Now i know what coaches to build for my Hornby Rocket. ;)
How amazing !!!
Que creatividad ! MARAVILLOSO !!
Genial video.
Son hermosos los ferrocarriles.
Dog: Gold. Donkey: Silver. Rocket: Bronze. Track: Unplaced. Hilarious film. Thank you.
I love it watched it 3 times so far..I'm going to start pitching rocks at the beer truck.this is so funny.
What a video. I LOVE TRAIN.
Excellent, from invention to super modernisation people hardly think of.
Spindly little fellow. It is hard to believed this ungainly novelty became the mighty 4-8-8-4 articulated, beasts of yesteryear that breathed fire.
Crazy track and crazy film, but a lot of fun
Ahí empezó todo... Espectacular .
Wow its amazing
Why is it 1829x funnier than modern TV shows
So Buster Keaton was a train enthusiast and set this movie in the 1830's to include Rocket? I guess most people in 1923 didn't know the Rocket was a British locomotive and he thought it fit his slapstick comedy.
Funny to think that the Rocket was almost a 100 year old antiquity in 1923, while this movie is only 90 years old. Puts things into perspective.
The drivers are the most kind people in the world.
It’s remarkable how well this footage has held up for close to 200 years. It just had to be Made in China.
Very cool video!
This is a great example of the poor track conditions back then
Chris&forrest funvideos the track conditions were far better than this back then, in the UK anyway, the locomotive went over 30mph in the early 1830s
Chris&forrest funvideos and the railways was the first mainline
Just imagine what these people are thinking at this time! 2021 now!
wow--thanks for this old video--love it.
As mentioned by others, these are scenes from the Buster Keaton movie "Our Hospitality", invented for comic effect (and not actually a documentary). The train later appeared (and was partly destroyed) in a film "The Iron Mule", directed by Roscoe Arbuckle under a pseudonym. Buster Keaton was involved, though uncredited.
Amazing.
