- "Highway Patrol" spanned 4 seasons, and production ended in 1959. The part of Dan Mathews was played by Broderick Crawford, who ironically lost his driver's license after being arrested several times and convicted of DUI while "Highway Patrol" was in production.
The episode "Train Robbery" was produced in season 4.
During the first 2 seasons, the CHP (California Highway Patrol) offered technical assistance. The CHP withdrew its assistance because of unbelievable story lines, the lack of following standard police procedures, the fact that the show focused too heavily on violent crime instead of traffic enforcement, and Crawford's heavy drinking.
As an example of a ridiculously comical scene... note that after thwarting the train derailment and apparently killing one of the criminals, Mathews and Sgt. Williams simply walk away and leave with the uninjured criminal. No effort is made to secure the area, to perform an investigation, to check the deceased criminal's pulse, to take a statement from the victim, to gather evidence, to call an ambulance or the coroner, or to remove the deceased criminal's weapon.
Railroad enthusiasts will immediately notice that the Southern Pacific passenger train footage uses locomotives that switch from Alco PA's to GM F-Units.
The show's low budget ($25,000 per episode) meant that no vehicle crashes or wrecked cars would ever be shown.

Betty still didn’t eat lunch looks like one of my school teachers from the 70s. Great show
Betty's 🥪 was early version of 3Dpprinter🥪🤯
Love this show, but it's hilarious how they say, "Let's go!" and just leave the dead body there with Betty.
Betty had to go home to change drawers.
Smashing upload!!! This is one of the few times I got to see Broderick Crawford again since the 1950's, i.e. almost 53 years. Thanks for the upload.
At last! A Hudson "stepdown" (judging from the taillights it's a 1952 or '53) seen in an episode of "Highway Patrol" that's parked on the left side of the road as the patrol car passes by at 3:43.
They should offer Betty a job with Highway Patrol, she did OK in an emergency :)
Love this show. However, the plot holes in this one were many. Half the dialog was to cover up why they couldn't stop the train, but even then with all that time they could have turned a signal red. Ah, but so what. Crawford is great and Mack from Adam-12 made a whole career playing cops.
Good episode. Thank you for uploading.
Loved the sight and sound of that loco passing through!
Thanks to people like you "yesterday" is alive and well, and living on You Tube. I remember: "The laws of your community are enforced for your protection, obey them." Beth Wishes!
I for one really appreciate being able to watch these old classics! Far better than today's highly rated comic book entries.
7:15 Back when a 2x8 was a 2x8. Real lumber!
8:28 "They got us surrounded!" There's two of them.
The bad guys motor mouth done them in, hahahaha
The dead body was left inside the station 😂
I used to love those words of wisdom at the end of every show. The show is still in reruns but for some reason they've omitted them
AWESOME. Just ABOUT my fav..she thru the switch ..saved all lives w/in seconds!!!!!!!!!!
Filmed at the old train station in Santa Susana Calif.
I was wondering where that was, thanks.

Betty needed a raise
At the speed that train was going it would have been one hell of a train wreck! Would have killed everyone around , wiped out the station and scattered cars for miles!
That is a daylight train, maybe you noticed in one seen there is an f unit on the point and in another seen its an alco pa.
Videos of several trains was used, with an ABA set of PA's and different combinations of F units and both the Daylight paint scheme and the Black Widow.
An interesting episode. I enjoyed the authentic depot interior with telegraph and telephone-selector sounds going in the background. The lack of authenticity with regard to the consistency of what train we were looking at in the various shots was an insult to the audience. There were any of several methods that could have been used to stop the train long before it got there. 1) Assuming this is Automatic Block Signal territory, all one had to do would be to short the rails with a pair of jumper cables to give the engineer a red signal a couple miles in advance. 2) They also had radio communication then. 3) Or, someone could have driven to the track miles away and waved or posted a red flag, or laid down a red flare.
You never know if that's the actual station interior or they switched to a sound stage for those inside shots. Better sound quality in a sound stage and more room for the crew and equipment.
The part they cut was, at the end, when Dan said "Let's go" while the still, warm body of the robber was laying in the lobby. And, Betty's all like "Umm, wait. What about this guy??". and Dan's all like, "We'll get him later".
Sign said Railway Express Agency on depot remember that as a kid does anyone know if Railway Express Agency later became United Parcel Service which is today is known as UPS let me know take care.
And of course, why are there any passengers on the train if it's not stopping anywhere.
They deleted the pistol whip they gave Betty
And leave the other man dead or to die? Loose ends
Did Albert Speer design the closing emblem ?
Notice no railroad clerks were harm in the making of this but were laid off at Christmas with no pay...
Ever see the HWY Patrol with Clint Eastwood he plays a biker
Grab his gun
The old train station was located at Google Map coordinates 34.2719,-118.7085. The roadway next to it where the police cars are driving is E. Los Angeles Ave.
I think Betty and Dan would make a sweet couple.
Dan never really seemed to have any interest in women. Or much else for that matter. He apparently was on the job 24/7.
Thanks for the upload of a favourite show, even if continuity wasn't in the budget. I can overlook the different locomotives leading the speeding train that never stopped. I vote for the square nosed Alco PA over the EMD F Unit, 10-4.
Yeah, I'll take the rarer ALCO PA consist too.
Betty should get a nice promotion. Like president of the railroad.
8:40 so funny
Beatrice saves the day.
They never miss ,do they?
I understand based on the context that "10-4" means "received message ?" but why the heck exactly 10-4 is that a random choice or is there some logic behind this copper lingo ?
There is an entire series of "10-codes," used not only by law enforcement, but by firemen and paramedics, and even CB radio users.Here's a Wikipedia link which provides more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-code.
Thanks Tom; as I am from Belgium; I have a good excuse not to know about this... It's really a language on its own, this APB here, ten-nine there :)) In Belgium the police seems rather into the greek or NATO-like alphabeths, , so lots of deltas and sierras and alpha papa tangos :0)
My pleasure--glad I could help!
+Tom Nichol I know it's been 3 years since your response but what is that 'headquarters Bi or is it Vi" or 10521 Bi (or Vi)) Can't find it on the internet. Thanks!!
@@deby5983
that means, STANDING BY they just use by for short. Bi means two
BULL!
In real life, law enforcement would be precisely where Betty is and not where that man Mike is.
Highway Patrol.
Train Robbery part 2
The police must be inside with Betty and not at another location. Also, the Division Dispatcher a no no. Betty is everything alright? How can she say anything? No code word for answering.
