This was from a silent movie, the audience thought it was real and began crying and one even fainted...please down vote me to hell..

[–]RockasaurusRex[S] 3 points4 points ago

If this is true trivia, then you deserve more upvotes than the jokesters.

[–]VagazzlerBedazzler 1 point2 points ago

i think I love you ( -)

[–]RockasaurusRex[S] 2 points3 points ago

And I've loved you before you even knew me.

[–]Pargelenis 1 point2 points ago

Stalker.

[–]hooktail154 0 points1 point ago

Yep. From Buster Keaton's The General. The train is actually still there (or was until recently) from the filming of the movie.

[–]LuckingFurker 0 points1 point ago

Man, I haven't seen that movie in years...

[–]StrangeSound 1 point2 points ago

I believe it was also the most expensive shot in any silent film too!

[–]10gags 4 points5 points ago

no worries dude, we all get choo'ed out every once in a while

[–]Andewz111 5 points6 points ago

Great, another comment thread that'll get derailed by puns.

[–]10gags 4 points5 points ago

the whole point of reddit is to train people to use puns cleverly

[–]headfullofuselessnes 2 points3 points ago

It always ends up being a runaway train.

[–]10gags 5 points6 points ago

you aren't being fair, they always run out of steam eventually

[–]JasonGD1982 4 points5 points ago

I feel like these comments are leading us off track.

TRAINS

[–]RockasaurusRex[S] 11 points12 points ago

Get out of here otter, you're drunk.

[–]Jarhed121 2 points3 points ago

It may help if we find the conductor of this whole shebang.

[–]HalevG 6 points7 points ago

For anyone wondering, this is from an old silent movie, The General.

[–]Mentions_Cumbox 1 point2 points ago

There goes RockasaurasRex. Fucking shit up again.

God damnit. That guy.

CUMBOX

[–]stereotypicaliowan 2 points3 points ago

Choo choo motherfucker!

[–]TnDMaker -1 points0 points ago

Sorry

[–]saxygurl19 0 points1 point ago

We've all been there. It really stinks when people downvote you just because they disagree with you too.

Good job with the analogy.

[–]rick0905 0 points1 point ago

oh look its Thomas going over the big big bridge

[–]yeathl -1 points0 points ago

funny... all I can think about is how stupid one has to be to think they keep a website on "speed dial"

[–]JabberJauw 1 point2 points ago

It helps to refer to genitalia

[–]SwampyTroll -1 points0 points ago

Things fall apart.

Okonkwo dies!!!

[–]charlesfairfax 0 points1 point ago

Why wouldn't they use miniatures?

[–]JonFawkes 0 points1 point ago

Someone needs to edit the words on the train to say Karma. And also maybe some upvotes coming out of the exhaust

[–]kippybrowm 0 points1 point ago

That is a poorly built bridge right there
