Roar of the Iron Horse 

1951 - 15 Chapters


Plot

Roar of the Iron Horse had hero Jock Mahoney in his first leading role, 
playing Jim Grant, a railroad agent, opposing a typical hard faced German, 
George Eldred, called The Baron. Head of a strong ring in America, the 
infamous Baron was thwarted time and time again as he tried to sabotage 
the building of the transcontinental railroad with all the means to his scope, 
strategically bribing the local Indians into doing his dirty work. Mahoney was 
an ideal choice to play the lead character, and the role marked the beginning 
of a long and rewarding association with Columbia Pictures.
