The silent movie “The General” with Buster Keaton(?) is a favorite of my kids. I didn’t realize how closely the film matches the actual events.

It was on TCM last night!
The Buster Keaton Movie does follow the events very closely. They used national guard troops to simulate the union and confederate troops changing uniforms from union to confederates. The train wreck when crossing the bridge was with a real train and started a forest fire. Filmed in California.
