This film was produced in 1930 and filmed on the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, which was also known as the Milwaukee Road. The movie was mostly filmed along the Milwaukee's lines in Montana. The railway yard in Miles City, Montana, was the setting for many of the yard scenes, while rural scenes were shot along the line through Sixteen Mile Canyon, also in Montana. Additional footage was shot in Chicago, where the Milwaukee Road was headquartered until 1986, when it went out of business. This was the first film shot in the then-new Spoor-Berggren Natural Vision Process.
This film is in the public domain. The original 1930 copyright was not renewed. It became public domain content twenty-eight years later in 1958.
