Re: NNG: Limited Mail

Interesting find Scott. The broadcasting company I work for is affiliated with MTV. I looked it up and this is all I can find on that 1925 movie.

"It's the story of a man Ben Wilson (Monte Blue) who after being jilted by his girl, becomes a hobo. His life takes a turn for the... better when he saves a mail train from being wrecked during a storm. Jim Fowler, a mail clerk (Tom Gallery), befriends him and gets him a job on the Limited Mail. After several years, Wilson works his way up to engineer, and he also falls in love with Caroline Dale (Vera Reynolds), who lives in Fowler's boarding house. A runaway freight train crashes into the Limited. Fowler is killed, but his son, Bobby (Jack Huff), is saved, as is Wilson. One of Wilson's convict friends saves Bobby from drowning, and once again, he saves the Limited from a wreck. Caroline happens to be on board at the time, and finally she and Wilson are united."


It appears that A 35mm copy of this film survives at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and a 16mm copy of this film survives at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Also it says the silent movie was filmed at Royal Gorge and in Durango in cooperation with the D&RGW Railroad

Now you know as much as I do (?).
