The railroad in silent pictures...

From: http://listing-index.ebay.com/movies/The_Hazards_of_Helen.html

"The Hazards of Helen is an American adventure film serial of 119
twelve minute episodes released over a span of slightly more than two
years by the Kalem Company between November 7, 1914 and February 24,
1917. At 23.8 hours, it is believed to be the longest non-feature
length motion picture series ever filmed. Based on a novel by John
Russell Corvell and the play by Denman Thompson, it was adapted to the
silent screen by W. Scott Darling. Episodes 1-48 were directed by J.P.
McGowan and the remainder by James Davis."

I have the Treasures and More Treasures from the American Film
Archives boxsets and I believe there is an episode from the Hazards of
Helen in there somewhere and in the upcoming Treasures III as well.
