Disney Undertook Giant
Airlift to Create Civil
War Picture Epic
To film “The Great Locomotive
Chase” in Cinemascope and
Technicolor authentically on loca
tion in Clayton, Ga., Walt Disney
underwrote one of the biggest air
lifts in the annals of the motion
picture industry. The airlift, com
prising camera crews, actors, tech
nicians and location experts, came
to more than 200 people who were
flown from the Disney studios in
California to the picturesque Geor
gia city in the Blue Ridge Moun
tains. —
The biggest drawing cards for
the curious were, of course, the
ancient locomotives portraying the
“General” and the “Texas.” En
gine crews manning the locomo
tives reported that they handled
as many as 100 visitors per en
gine per day; the visitors inciden
tally, were given Grade-A treat
ment so that they were able to
carefully inspect the two locomo
tives which run a race at break
neck speed in the picture.
“The Great Locomotive Chase
is the feature at Nomerama to
night and tomorrow.
