Fast Freight is one of the funniest of the silent Our Gangs ever!

This Hal Roach comedy short, Fast Freight, is the eighty-fifth in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series. Farina and Pete the Pup are riding under a running train on hammocks on their way to California. They stop at a neighborhood where the rest of the gang reside and entices them to go with him. After some mishaps on the way, they stop at a house that seems to be haunted especially at night...Leonard Maltin and Richard W. Bann consider this one directed by Anthony Mack "a contrived outing that pulls every predictable gag out of the usual bag of tricks". Be that as it may, I found the whole thing hilarious from beginning to end. So on that note, I highly recommend Fast Freight.
