Surprising by virtue of how much of Ford's mature work is already in evidence.

Reviews for Iron Horse
Although Ford is not yet at the peak of his artistic powers in The Iron Horse, the film is still immensely entertaining and fascinating as a glimpse of the early Ford.
It's the atmosphere that Ford captures so beautifully, from the location shooting to the labor and process of clearing land and laying track.
It's a large canvas, and one that the filmmaker, then 29, often has trouble filling.
