Black Diamond Express Edison Workers on a rail track with picks as a train arrives from behind in the distance. The workers leave the track to let it pass. The train moves towards the camera until it almost fills the frame. This film was used by Edwin S. Porter in “Uncle Josh and the Moving Picture Show”, in which a country bumpkin is so overwhelmed by watching his first motion picture that he tears down the screen in an attempt to save the heroine of one of the films. “Uncle Josh and the Moving Picture Show” was copyrighted 1896.
