Mr. Collins, the engineer, is the only person in this movie who has an actual name, as opposed to a nickname like "Shack," or "A Number One," or "Cigarette."
'Shack was US railroadman's slang for a brakesman, and they had varying titles according to the position they held - 'Head shack' was the chief conductor for example.
I think the grease drums were used on automatic flange lubricators on tight curves. You filled the canister with grease put the lid and spring loaded piston. Then you preloaded the piston pushing on the grease by winding a handle like a grease gun The wheel flange pressed up against an actuator on the inside rail head releasing grease onto the flange.
Tying the real leather strong belt around the top of that bracket was a good idea in case they fall asleep they won't fall under the train Lee Marvin you the man
ronniewright7625, I have checked for DVD availability for this movie several times over the recent years, and there are always plenty of them available. Just checking now (Feb '24), I see numerous copies for sale on eBay (not always cheap though), and several "classic movies on DVD" websites list them for sale, Some local libraries have the DVDs. Not exactly impossible to find if one actually looks and really want to watch.
I don't like how A#1 wreaked the kid's glove with the grease. It would make it dangerous to grab tings you need to hold onto - like your life on a train.
This movie and other 70’s movie of the time is why my friends and I did so much crazy stuff. Nothing virtual about our reality, as we’d say, “We’re ripping sack!”
@@traingame2.053 even sillier, they actually painted half the locomotive, different numbers on each side, that's why you only see 1 side legibly of "both" locomotives. Saved money on paint.

I totally get it now a number one was a black guy that's why Shack hated him so much cuz he was black. Really easy for him to hide in the shadows A#1 was a black 👞 man with style
The destination of train #19 (Shack's train) is Portland. Because the young "Cigaret" had bragged to others that it was HE who had successfully ridden the #19 earlier and lived to tell about it, when it was actually A#1 who had saved his hide, A#1 felt he had to publicly demonstrate that it was he who had done so, and would prove it by riding the train to the end of its run. The originating point of the train is not specified other than it is a railyard somewhere. In reality, the Oregon, Pacific & Eastern Railway (the one identified in the film) was a shortline that only ran 18 miles between the towns of Cottage Grove (where it interchanged with the Southern Pacific RR) and Disston (both south of Eugene). The last vestiges of the actual OP&E were abandoned in 1994 and part of the ROW is now a trail.
@@rogerlollar4325 IDK, I think we're over analyzing here. It's a fictitious film, though back in the day, I figure evil people were more easily able to get away with a lot more than they can today.
This movie is a parade of all the great character actors of the 70s.
Lee Marvin definitely stands out, my second choice for the '70s would be Jack lemmon
This is the perfect example of a great film barely seen today.
Exactly. I first saw this as part of a double-feature with the original "Poseidon Adventure" (also starring Ernest Borgnine).

Great dialogue. One of my favourite movies.
Great film ....probably one of the most brutal fights at the end of the film in hollywood history ....

This is a terrific movie. I would love to add it to my dvd collection. Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine are awesome actors.
Do you have Hard Times husker?
Thanks for this one!
Keith Carradine was young sympathy actor ... i saw many his films

shut up foamer
You might want to explain why it was necessary. Grease on the tracks is counter intuitive.
Loved that movie
Tying the real leather strong belt around the top of that bracket was a good idea in case they fall asleep they won't fall under the train Lee Marvin you the man
In a later scene Lee Marvin tells Caradine exactly that.
While it was ingenious, it wasn't really Lee Marvin's idea...it was in the script. ;)
Haven’t seen this for years !!…
Excelente película grande lee Marvin saludos desde Honduras.
and i really love trains in films
Love this movie
Lee Marvin at his best
When he started to grease the same rail as he was greasing he looked over at him and must have wondered why he was teaching him.
The film is terrific. The music is bombastic.
Exactly, the only thing wrong with the movie was the dreadful soundtrack.
All aboard all aboard 💚--+-please remember no trespassing BSF Ed
Ernest Borgnine, what a villian.
Ernest Borgnine played the other conductor (Shack), who wasn't in this clip. This conductor was played by Robert Foulk.
This movie (DVD or streaming) is impossible to find.

Can you upload the fight between Shack and A no. 1?
What a very naughty thing to do?!
Tragic!
Did any of you guys ever read the book 'Autobiography of a Super Tramp'?
To all the old men. Us children still do play outside and do physical things. So be quiet

Isn't that the same locomotive that almost crashed head-on with #19? If so, do you know what locomotive they used for #27? Just wanted to know.
Yep. Its the same locomotive they just re-painted it for different scenes

Best railroad movie ever made. I don't care if their Democrats get this train to moving. We have a schedule to keep.
" Save me from the Presbyterian's" RIP LEE 🙏
Ernest Borgnine was great in this film.
The engineer should have told the conductor to "go away".
