About The Iron Horse (1924)

The Iron Horse is a 1924 American silent epic Western film directed by John Ford and produced by Fox Film. It was the studio's hastily planned response to the success of Paramount Pictures' The Covered Wagon.

In Springfield, Illinois, surveyor David Brandon daydreams about a transcontinental railroad. He is mocked by railroad owner Thomas Marsh. A young Abraham Lincoln visits the men, and Brandon confirms his plan to head west with his son Davy. Marsh's daughter Miriam bids a lovelorn goodbye to Davy. The Brandons survive the cold and wilderness for three months until they are attacked in the Cheyenne Hills.
