While this started out promisingly, with a sly, whimsical sense of humor, about a poor schnook whose girlfriend pressures him to enlist in the Civil War, my attention wandered by the half-hour mark, when he was trying to keep the train going.  Keaton stars, co-directed (with Clyde Bruckman), and co-wrote, based on the William Pittenger book The Great Locomotive Chase.
