The Railrodder

The Railrodder is a 1965 short comedy film starring Buster Keaton in one of his final film roles, directed by Gerald Potterton and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. A 25minute comedic travelogue of Canada, The Railrodder was also Keatons final silent film, as the film contains no dialogue and all sound effects are overdubbed.

Buster starts his long hike, but soon finds a oneman, opentop rail maintenance vehicle, commonly known as a speeder, parked on a rail track. He sits in the drivers seat intending to take a nap, but he accidentally puts the vehicle in gear, and it speeds off down the track.The remainder of the film is a series of miniadventures shared by Buster and the motor car as the vehicle with an apparently inexhaustible fuel supply follows the Canadian National Railway line across Canada. En route, Buster is shown making breakfast, acting as a maid, and even doing laundry, never once intentionally stopping the vehicle though he later does stop in order to obtain camouflage so he can do some birdhunting. A running gag involves a storage compartment in the vehicle which seems to be infinite on the inside, as he pulls out everything from pillows and a bison fur coat to a full tea service. Along the way he also has some close calls with locomotives and even other speeders coming the other direction, but emerges harmfree each time. ........
