Thunder was the last silent film for Lon Chaney. His health was not good during the shoot and for the first time in his career he held up production while he recuperated. He plays Grumpy Anderson, a near retirement, old workhorse of a train engineer. It is said that a piece of artificial snow, used in the production, lodged in his throat causing an infection that led to his untimely death at age 47 on August 26, 1930.  Only a few fragments exist. The novel was published in 1930 in France and has been translated by Eric McNaughton.
 
“The 1929 audiences were up on their feet and cheering Chaney
at the exciting climax of Thunder.”
Chauncey Haines - Silent Film Organist
