I ran across this next item earlier today. A few folks on YouTube opined that Diamond Jim, an unsold pilot produced in house by ABC's Selmur Productions in 1965, may have been rebooted by Screen Gems the next year as Iron Horse due to the similarities in the plot having to do with a railroad, and its star, Dale Robertson (ex-Tales of Wells Fargo).
Anyway, "Diamond" Jim Brady (Robertson) leaves New York for Colorado on business having to do with the railroad. Jeff York and Walter Burke co-star, and keep an eye open for future stars Pete Deuel and Denise Alexander.
The silver highlights in Robertson's hair would be more pronounced on Iron Horse, which, as we've discussed, ran for 2 seasons.
