Buster Keaton lay weighed down on the cow catcher
of the General with a railroad tie in his lap
With no engineer in place
the train chugged forward toward a tie lying atop the track
sure to cause derailment
Our hero! Our hero!
his arms full
chucked the tie precisely
flipping the loose tie off to the side
My dad burst forth with a guffaw I can hear to this day
Love Buster Keaton. The perfection of his stunts was just amazing.
I forgot the title as I was reading and the loud guffaw surprised me as much as it must have surprised you as a boy. Excellent!
