Synopsis

Porky is the engineer of the most unimpressive train in the fleet. In a series of routine incidents—using pepper to make the engine sneeze up a hill, chasing a cow off the tracks, only to later discover it has been replaced by an angry bull—Porky faces various challenges. He is then informed that he will be replaced by the new streamlined train, the Silver Fish. He mutters an insult, which the Silver Fish engineer overhears, prompting a challenge to a race. With the help of the angry bull, Porky wins the race.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
