The Block Signal is a pretty standard train movie about an old engineer who loses his job when a rejected suitor for his daughter's hand deliberately makes sure his train wrecks. The most interesting aspect is the daughter. A brunette Jean Arthur early in her career! Not much of a part, but still fun to see if one could recognize her. Can see similarities, but if I hadn't known it was her I would never have guessed.
