Viewing Notes
A pretty boring train robbery film, not anywhere near as good as THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY. Much of the story is shown from a single shot from a camera mounted on the front of the actual train, which is a first to my knowledge. However, it relies too heavily on the single camera angle for much of the action, even by 1906 standards.
