Synopsis

The gang is playing around the railroad station when Joe and Chubby's father, an engineer, warns them about the dangers of the area. After he leaves, a man starts a train, putting most of the kids in danger, though Farina narrowly avoids being run over multiple times. Eventually, Farina climbs aboard, and the group tries to stop the runaway train, but they are unsuccessful until it crashes into a grocery truck. In the end, it is revealed that the entire event was a dream Farina had while Joe and Chubby's father delivered a lecture on rail-yard safety.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
