Railway Age - Southern Holiday Line (DVD)

Advantages: Great story, Cajuns
Disadvantages: Not one to watch over and over

...next in charge is a rather useless man called Casper, who doesn?t seem to have an discretion and wants to play everything by the book. They aim to get out of the swamp lands as quickly as they can but that?s easier said than done. Some of the team seem to lose it a bit. They capture a Cajun and destroy his house but now a whole group of unseen Cajuns are after them and picking them off one by one in this American jungle. There?s dissent within the group as well.

Advantages: It is a great watch
Disadvantages: None

The actors who play the children were chosen really well. The film is for all the family, children of any age could watch this. The film looks in the early victorian era maybe later its not set in todays era. The railway children is a great family movie and i have watched the original version and the remake I would reccommend watching this film. What i liked about the film was when the mother and children moved the country and the children found things to do and always waved to the same train and made friends with an old... Read review
