old fashion western

It's the last days of the ox train as the railroad spreads towards the west. Pipestone Ross Freighter runs the route from St. Louis to Habersford, Omaha. His partner is Ben Santley, father of his girlfriend Julie Santley. New employee Pat Candel has a crush on Julie. Mr. Vane hires Candel to transport his locomotive to Omaha and jump ahead of the big railroads. Ross intends to sabotage the trip.

This has an ox train and somehow brings in a locomotive engine. There is an annoying love triangle and some underhanded double dealing. The big action happens to be an attack by the Indians. It's an old fashion circling the wagons. Some of this look like stock footage from other movies. The steam is kinda silly. The acting and production is all fine. It's an old fashion and limited western.
