Wiki.
The Singing Brakeman is a 1929 short film, starring Jimmie Rodgers, and released by Columbia-Victor Gems. Rodgers sings three of his songs: "Waiting for a Train", "Daddy and Home" and "Blue Yodel".
Following Rodgers' success as a recording artist by the end of 1929, the short was filmed in the Victor Talking Machine studios in Camden, New Jersey. Two versions of the film were produced and released with different credits. One of the releases contained a copyright notice of 1929, while the second one, was credited in 1930.
The Singing Brakeman, advertised as a "singing novelty" was played in theaters from December 1929 between movies and newsreels. It was well received by the critics.
