A railroad love story, clear, well acted and pleasing. The fireman, Donovan, loves the station master's pretty daughter. His engineer also is in love with her. Their train, a freight, is following an excursion train, when on a down grade the air brakes refuse to work. The engineer proves a coward, and the fireman stays by the engine and averts a catastrophe. Edna Flugrath, with her pleasing self and her good acting, makes an interesting heroine. Bigelow Cooper is an acceptable Donovan. Charles Ogle plays the engineer, William Wadsworth the conductor, and John Sturgeon the station master; all are natural. The railroad scenes, including the rush down the grade and the climax, are all fine. The audience seemed to be enjoying it, and it ought to be generally popular. - The Moving Picture World, December 14, 1912
