Highlights:
- It is a 'silent film' with no sound effects ;no music; no dialogues!
- This Edwin Porter film is considered a milestone for all the right things; Such a terrific film shot outdoors brilliantly with crisp editing must have been special as it would have been unheard of before 1903!
- The sequence where the passengers are asked to get off the train & the shooting scene are nicely shot.
