This is a fun movie to watch that has many well-known actors in it - Kevin Bacon, Wilford Brimley, Holly Hunter, Bob Balaban, Mary Steenburgen, Levon Helm, and many more. The story, a railroad that is being sold putting people out of work - some of whom have given their whole life to the company, and the efforts of two of the workers - Brimley and Helm - to buy it and put everyone back to work, is an enjoyable old fashioned, heart-warming story.
