Well, there was a few moments where the camera wasn't looking before the brakeman pulled the pin. Whose to say he didn't quickly slip in-between and close the angle cocks, bottling the air?

@@Benni711 Still no. For drop off, the side door of the mailcar was slid open, and the bag of mail was pushed off to land on the platform.

That's why they keep him around. They know he is on schedule, but his antics towards hobos probably got him in trouble with the company, so they keep him running a local old locomotive.
If nobody noticed. Despite being set in the 1930s, a mirriade of 1940s, 1950s, and even a 1971 car appear in the background of the yard. It makes it look like a yard but thanks to YT. Shows the fact they didn’t do much switching earlier to hid it.
There's also a 1970s freight train with what looks like a center flow tank car on it moving in the background of a few shots. Things you never noticed when watching this on a television and are engrossed in the story, but catch when you have the ability to pause and really look around.
By 'cars' I take it you mean railroad freight cars? I thought some of them looked pretty modern too - and I know US railroads best from Model Railroader!
Earnest Borgnine was absolutely **perfect** for his part. The mumbling under his breath, he just reeked of being a hateful son-of-a-bitch that you would NOT want to have to work around if you had the choice (speaking to the era in the film where you likely *didn't* have such a choice if you were lucky enough to work at all etc).
During the Great depression, hardly anyone had any money to do anything. Unemployment was the highest it ever was in history anywhere in the world. Most people were homeless (banks foreclosed anyone would couldnt pay their mortgage, offered no sympathy and tore down their houses so no one could live there as a squatter). The fastest way to get around was to sneak on a train.
@@rogerlollar4325 How? Railroads only run on discrete routes. It's not like he could just walk across town and catch another one if that was the only rail line for 20 or 50 or 100 miles.
@@rogerlollar4325 Why do people climb mountains or run ulta-marathons or chase tornadoes? Because it's a challenge, because it's inherent in the human spirit to want to push the limits and do what's not been done before. (And because that's what the screenwriters wrote.)
Not exactly a dumb scene. A #1 setting that steer car on fire was setting up what was about to happen for the rest of the movie. They already established Shack's character. This scene was designed to establish A#1's character (and Cigarette's character). After this scene and the next one, theyve set the table for the rest of the movie. The sad part about this movie is that if youve seen the first 20 minutes, youve seen the whole movie.

"boy he's gonna be a mean son of a bitch now"
"what was he before?"
Best one-two exchange ever
The uncut version of this movie is the toughest and meanest flick ever .
Yep... Shack really was one mean son of a bitch!
There’s a uncut version? Oh snap gotta try to find it!
Dependes on your cable company or network. enjoy!@@roastingpotato
"Don't you understand?!? The 19 is on fire!!!"
well technically the last car is on fire.
Can’t express how much I appreciate you for posting these clips and how much I love this movie. Thank you very much.
🤣Ernest Borgnine in this acts just like my dad's dad especially at 2:55 Lee Marvin's laugh too 🤣
As entertaining as this film is, Hollywood has never understood the way train air brakes work.

You can't deny Shack's competence.

What did RUclips do?
Edit: Oh, right. They didn't have pause buttons back then and nobody could afford vcrs.

@@JohnDavies-cn3ro yes freight cars. We call em cars in the business
I’ve seen that very stock car it’s kind of rotting away at the camp 18 logging museum in Elsie oregon
Why Don't Their Fix It Up?
@@oakrail8100 I don’t know honestly it’s all outdoors and the place is also a restaurant too
Still has the hole?
Thank you very mush you are great! t. Piia from Finland
The 19!
The 19!
The 19's on fire!
We don't need no water, let the mummer-fummer burn!
Burn mummer-fummer!
Burn mummer-fummer!
You do realize this take place during the Great Depression? They would’ve needed all the rolling stock they had
Awesome movie
"I got a train on fire!" ROFL!!! 🤣
I’ve a got a train on fire
I see alot of sp&s boxcars
If the Great Northern were as great as its name says it is, them it would still be around today.
just wish the powers that control, would post up full movies to watch.
It's kind of fitting how they set a Milwaukee Road cattle car on fire. Cause during the 70s, The Milwaukee Road was a complete disaster.
After all that and a number ones worried about a little chicken shit on his hand 😅
Don't try to stop me 'cuz nobody can.
More Like A Boxcar On Fire
That’s a stock car

And yet, if I recall correctly, after the fight scenes he would ask his fellow actors if they were OK, genuinely concerned that they didn't get hurt.
Terrific actor 👍👍@@whiteknightcat
1:17 they ride on top of those trains later
3:00 The same screeching sound from "Thomas the Tank Engine"! 😁
00:37 comes up empty handed
He latches the brake wheel club onto the side of his pants
Why is the brakeman wearing a necktie? Seems overdressed. At least Shack's bowtie won't snag on anything.
This was the 1930's. People actually tried to dress nicely to go to work, even for some of the more menial jobs.
Why can't A No.1 just buy a train ticket
