Hollywood Outtakes: Virginia & Truckee No. 27 in Roar of the Iron Horse
I could only find one scene of the legendary Virginia & Truckee Railroad in the archives. This single less-than-a-minute long clip was taken in 1951, after the railroad officially ceased operations, for the movie serial Roar of the Iron Horse.
4-6-0 locomotive No. 27 (Baldwin, 1913) hauled the last official V&T train in May 1950. But in 1951, she was brought out of retirement to be in the movies. Since then, she has been cosmetically restored and on display in Virginia City, Nevada. The caboose has been restored and is in use at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, Nevada. (Thanks to YouTuber Mark French for this info.)
Movie serials were already on the way out by 1951. But Roar of the Iron Horse has all the classic elements: the handsome, two-fisted hero, Jim, in his white neckerchief; the good-looking, rifle-shooting Carol; the evil Baron, always stirring up trouble; the melodramatic soundtrack; and the cliffhanger at the end of each chapter.
00:05 Here's the original clip of No. 27 with its train--a side-door caboose and a flat car loaded with track workers and ties. There is no sound with the clip.
01:00 After the credits, I've included a low-quality VHS copy of chapter 3 of Roar of the Iron Horse, which includes three pieces of the archive shot. I've re-edited it to eliminate the previous week's cliffhanger resolution and include the following week's.
04:19 Here's the first part of the shot.
06:25 Here's the second part of the shot.
06:42 Here's the third part of the shot.
16:27 This shot is being run backwards.
