The Railroad Claim Intrigue Filming Locations

Barstow, a crook, conceives the idea of buying old automobiles, staging "accidents" with them, and settling with the railroad. At the Lone Point crossing one of his machines is hit by the train and the flagman is discharged because it appears that he has been negligent. Helen, the telegraph operatic, gets a day off and starts for the hills on horseback. She meets Duncan, a railroad detective sent to investigate the increasing number of crossing accidents. Through Duncan's field glasses they see the discharged flagman set upon by Barstow and one of his associates, rendered unconscious and driven towards the Lone Point crossing. Realizing that the fast freight is due and the crooks are planning another fake accident, Helen rides to a point ahead of the crossing. As the freight passes she leaps from the saddle and clasping her arms about a stick of lumber protruding from a car, draws herself up, dashes forward and warns the engineer just in time.
