“Movies at the Museum”:

The Livingston Depot Museum will have a screening of two vintage railroad films from the 1920s and ’30s this Thursday, July 15, 2010, from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM.

First up is the 1923 Classic silent film “The Railroad Men” with live piano by Rich “Pinky” Ruggles in the garb and manner of the old silent movie house piano player.

A second film, “The Phanton Express,” a talkie, will follow.

In the “The Railroad Men,” the hero, a railroad telegrapher, falls in love with the railroad president’s daughter. “The Phantom Express” (1932) is about a series of mysterious rail accidents that may be linked to raiders trying to buy the railroad.

Refreshments, too! Ice cold beer and popcorn.

The Livingston Depot Center is at 200 W. Park Street and admission to the movies is free.
