Advertised as part of the "Northern Pacific Railway Series" (Edison films catalog): The following pictures were taken by our artists at various points on the Northern Pacific Railway. We are greatly indebted to their officials who afforded us every opportunity in their power to obtain these splendid views. Many of the scenes are incident to the excitement prevailing at the time of the Klondike gold rush. They show the resources of this company for handling large numbers of people, baggage, freight and excursion parties, and give to prospective tourists and merchants an idea of the facilities with which this road handles traffic of all kinds (p. 9).

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Michael_Elliott First Avenue Seattle, Washington, No. 8 (1897)This Edison short is part of their "Northern Pacific Rainway Series" and runs just under thirty-seconds. There's not too much to see in terms of story or actual action but the main reason for watching this is just to see a city street as it looked in 1897. We get to see a couple store fronts, a few people walking around and a couple banners hanging up. That's pretty much all we see here but it's a film that capture a real time in a real place and on that level it's worth spending half a minute with. Fans of early cinema will certainly want to check it out but others will probably stay away.
