Mount Tamalpais R.R., No. 1 Audience Reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Michael_Elliott Mount Tamalpais R.R., No. 1 (1898) This here was the first of three films from Edison shot at the Tamalpais Tavern resort just north of San Francisco. This first film was shot from a passenger cart that was placed in front of a train. We see the train take off and then the camera goes to the right overlooking a large cliff before turning back around to face the camera where the film then ends. There's certainly nothing ground-breaking about this film but history buffs should at least find it entertaining as well as those wanting to see what a train from 1898 actually looked like. As is normally the case with these early movies, they're basically just showing people something they couldn't see in their normal life as travel wasn't as easy as it was today. With that in mind I'm sure people got a kick out of this and even when viewing it today you've got to be impressed with the cinematography.
