About 600 men, mostly hoboes, were brought by train
into the Sierras to film the Chilkoot Pass scene at the beginning
of the movie. They slept in the boxcars, however, there was little
complaining since assistant Eddie Sutherland had arranged for
the railroad to provide food service from its regular dining cars
which included roast beef, ham, vegetables, bread and pies.
