I'm sorry I forgot who asked me, but I heard from another collector that this was a cut-down of Universal's 1950 2-reeler 'Thundering Rails', and was in the Castle Films catalogs from 1951 through 1962 #821 - Silent, no sound - Hope whoever you are, you will see this message - Thanks from Shorty

Hi Shorty! Thanks for checking that out for me. I was hoping there was a sound copy out there but I'll just have to enjoy the silent.

Really neat film about a boy and his father playing with a Lionel train set and then the boy dreaming about being a real locomotive engineer.
