Porkys Railroad

Plot

Porky is informed that his beloved train the 13 ¹⁄₂ named 'Toots' is to be replaced by a streamline train by the name of 'The Silver Fish'. After the driver of 'The Silver Fish' insults 'Toots', Porky mutters that his train could easily take on the streamline train. The driver agrees to a race that ends with Porky being the victor (thanks to a bull seeking revenge after being previously insulted by Porky) and becoming the new driver of 'The Silver Fish' whilst a battered 'Toots' is on a trailer behind with 'Headin' for the last roundhouse' written on a sign attached to it.

In-jokes

When a woodpile is knocked over there is a brief view of a monkey, a derogatory visual reference from the cartoonists to the then commonly used term "a nigger in the woodpile". During the race, Porky runs his train over the top of a boat called the 'S.S Leon', a gag dedicated to the cartoon's producer Leon Schlesinger. Also, the Morse Code heard is a message to write Schlesinger for a picture of Porky.
