James H. White’s documentary is a technical study of movement rather than a narrative work. Since the film centers entirely on a twelve-car train dashing at high speeds, it lacks the human elements necessary for social or identity-based storytelling. The footage functions as a visual testament to late 19th-century technological advancement and capitalist transit systems. It documents the physical reality of the Northern Pacific Railroad without engaging in social commentary. Ultimately, the absence of human characters results in a complete lack of characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. The film remains a purely industrial observation of mechanical progress.
