The Texas?


Whatever happened to the Texas, the downed locomotive at the end of the movie? I hear that the producers of the film left it there, and now the rusted shell can still be seen in the lake. Can someone verfiy this, because I can't find any information on it, besides Roger Ebert's review that briefly mentions it.

The train-that is the real Texas-is in the Atlanta History Museum and the General is in the Kennesaw Museum a few miles north of Atlanta.

The Book 'Silent Echoes' contains modern-day photos of most all of Keaton's filming locations, including the bend in the river where the Texas went through the bridge. Nothing remains of it.
