B Smith posted:I suppose this kind of egregious historical error, or misrepresentation, in a film that is otherwise quite accurate in its visual depiction of the late 1920s - early 1930s simply shows that most people know nothing at all about American railroads and their history. These kinds of errors are repeated again and again in both Hollywood productions and so-called documentary productions.Why can't the producers, directors, set designers, and consultants get it right, for once? It's not that hard.
I understand - but consider the difficulty casting a GG-1 to play this part...
