Ride on a Runaway Train

The film 'Ride on a Runaway Train' was released in 1921 (often associated with the Rolin/Hal Roach 'Snub' Pollard series). Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain due to the expiration of their copyright terms. No renewal search is necessary for this specific title because the maximum possible duration of copyright (including renewals) for a 1921 production was 95 years, which expired no later than the end of 2016. Consequently, this film is freely available for use and distribution within the United States without the need for licensing from a rightsholder.
