Interesting facts

The Little Train Robbery is a 1905 American silent Western film directed by Edwin S. Porter. It is a parodic sequel/remake to Porter's 1903 film The Great Train Robbery with an all-child "cast as the robbers, and a miniature railroad and playhouse as sets."

Production

The film was shot in Olympia Park, near Connellsville, Pennsylvania during August, 1905. As part of the parody of his own prior work, Porter utilized miniature trains and playhouses as the sets. Other alterations to the core story involved the robbers stealing dolls and candy, and ultimately being caught by police officers.
