So near yet so far

 

Mount Tamalpais R.R., No. 1 (1898)


Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. We see some trains and a railway line.


There is a surprising amount of camera movement for a film of this era, unfortunately that means there are portions of the film where there is nothing in shot. I assume this film was made by putting a camera on a train rather than having a camera that moves or zooms. Apart from the bits where nothing of interest is in shot this is a decent film.


2/5
