Buster’s first appearance in a film with a train doesn’t look like it had a happy ending for his character, but it clearly didn’t put him off working with trains in the future.
It’s also the first film Buster’s dad Joe was finally convinced to appear in.
A Country Hero (1917) is unfortunately still a lost film.

"Elusive, too, that gift, for Alice Lake, to meet personally is only an unusually attractive American girl, quite unobtrusive, endowed with two most disturbing brown eyes and no end of dark hair which one feels only recently has been worn in a pigtail down her back.
One feels on seeing her, that not so long ago, she rebelled hopelessly against being a girl, that she played baseball with the boys near her home, when they'd let her, that they usually did let her, that not long afterward the boys in the neighborhood took to strolling—quite by accident, of course—by her house, and glancing toward the windows with carelessness not at all deceptive to Alice, that again a little later came parties where the girls were all decorum and spindly legs and big bows of ribbon and the boys all thumbs, snickers and clumsiness, with the exception of one polite little boy the girls all seemed to like and really despised.
-"Art Is Gift With This Film Actress," The Vancouver Sun, August 29, 1920
"For it is the charm of naturalness, of a simplicity which is deep-rooted genuineness.
She is like a girl you used to know who lived nest door, with whom you grew up, whose hair you used to pull until one day you discovered she had become a person apart from all others. Then you waited for her after high school, to carry home her books; and you took her to the dances in your town and felt that you were fortunate. That is Alice Lake."
-"The Screen," Beaver Falls Tribune, June 3, 1921

There is no one left to love
And there's no light left to guide us home
I keep you with me through the darkest night
And I won't let go
