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.
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
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'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.
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
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.
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.
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."
😂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!!!🖤🖤🖤
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. David, nice seeing you wandering afar from the SCM. I checked out your site. Very interesting collection. For those of you who are rusty with their German bummelstudent said "Men without nerve", which pretty well sums up these clips.

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.
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!
Un véritable bonheur a voir et a revoir :) Toute la magie du burlesque de cette époque, trop vite disparu.. Bravo pour la vidéo ;) Auriez vous la liste de ces films s'il vous plait ? Encore merci pour cet superbe vidéo !!!
Chico: I wouldn't go out in that battlefield unless I was in one of those big iron things....what are they called? Groucho: Tanks. Chico: You're welcome....
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.
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.
this left me in tears of laughter. found it while looking for another film of stan and ollie on a sleeper train in a single bunk with a cello. im sure the scenes of them in this clip are from the film im looking for but cant seem to find it on here.anyone help me out
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!!
@LowbrowProds Thanks a bunch! I love your video, has a lot of stuff I've never seen. What's the clip right before 3:12 with the guy holding his head? It looks like Buster Keaton. Is it "Sherlock Holmes Jr"?

It's truly remarkable to see all of those actors in one place doing such crazy things simply fantastic
Especially since all these stunts were performed for real
now this is a real music video
Indeed
Ssanto y el museo de cera
Exactly
0 nudity
0 drugs
Absolutely no foul language
100% talent
Better than music videos and the music nowadays

Damn, these early actors and stunt dudes had courage. Some of the stunts are freaking scary.
No argument here....

Few people will realize how good this is.
It’s amazing how so many of these silent film actors actually… lived after making their movies
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......)

Also amazing how many of those silent film clips were from talkies.
Tge special effects were masterful!
@@LowbrowProds WOW 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of these actor was Fatty Arbuckle.
They took risk back then.But great video thou cause I like trains.
Thanks I was wonderin who the big guy was.
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."
And the first computer special effect was 60 years away. Damn these guys were good!!!
Everyone take a good watch of this, because this type of awesomeness will never come again. The world has moved on...
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!!
Silent comedy was a major motivating factor for the creators of animated cartoons.
😂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!!!🖤🖤🖤
Saved the best scene for last, second only to the falling house gag in Steamboat Bill Jr.
It would have been hard to include that in clips about trains.....😊
Great collection of silent movie clips and excellent score! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Lots of my favorite things here: trains, silent comedians, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra! (Even this particular recording of this song!)
Absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed by old granddad and young grandson. Outstanding production by an obviously highly talented team. Awesome!
The Team thanks you.
This was fabulous, how fun how they incorporated all those old comedy movie stars.
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 :)
Go search out the 1941 FOX musical Sun Valley Serenade.
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.

Thanks for this trains, trains and trains review of vintage comedians and film.
I recognize many and don't many others.
Today’s stunt people have nothing on these guys! Highly enjoyable to watch.
Geniussssss!!
Nostalgia for a time way before my time.
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.
fantastic - loved every second of it.
My late Dad used to play this on the piano. Great memories
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.

This has been added to facebook, and our playlists, thank you much...
Even though I'm 17 when I was a kid I loved watching silent movies

Thank ya, loved this, and added to a playlist...
That's why I gave him the intro he deserved.
I KNEW the last shot would be The General! ;-)
......so did I.....
!!! One of the greatest short films ever made, IMHO.
Very good. Tanks!
Chico: I wouldn't go out in that battlefield unless I was in one of those big iron things....what are they called?
Groucho: Tanks.
Chico: You're welcome....
Fantastic, I would love to see a roll of out takes from each of these films
That was the most fun I've had for awhile...brilliant stuff...well done...
Ditto!!
This theme was featured on The Price is Right during the 1980s/90s whenever there was a "Train Depot" showcase.
These guys were stuntmen at its best.
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.
Have you ever listened to Yoko Maeno Maeno's「Chattanooga Choo Choo」on You Tube?
All I can think of every time I hear this song is Peter Criss and Ace Frehley singing it during that one episode of Family Guy.
Thanks.
Good eye for a good compilation job. There is a lot out here on the Web.
Very well done!
This was cool and fun to watch!
We need more cool. And certainly more fun. I appreciate your enthusiasm.......
That was great!
Very nice, thanks for posting! :)
Very well

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.
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.
excellent editing on this
I'll pass that on to the editor. Thank you
The worlds most uh satisfying video...
Good to the last drop.
Wow holy smoke that was good. Thanks.
absolutely great!!!
Superb Fantastic Dangerous Actions
Amazing love it

Great performance, I appreciate.
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!!
The crazy things they did with film and trains back then pretty much seems very life risking, but now you'd just cg a train in or green screen it
And that's why the stunting in these silent comedies still enthrall us today. It's real.

You want to get your timing right at 3:21 bloody hell.
Great clip. Steam Engines "love em"
If only, . . . .
OK... The 50s swing can amazingly get along with these comedies filmed in the 20s...
40's swing. By the 1950's swing stopped swinging like before.
@@LowbrowProds Oh! Yes... That's it...this song was from 40s.... Sorry !!!
@LowbrowProds Thanks a bunch! I love your video, has a lot of stuff I've never seen.
What's the clip right before 3:12 with the guy holding his head? It looks like Buster Keaton. Is it "Sherlock Holmes Jr"?
3:15 People are weirdly lucky
......or weirdly stage managed...
Oh
