Lee,

WOW, you are totally right, I overlooked that one. "Iron Horse" was
based on the very early ABC MTV movie "Scalplock"(aired in April 1966).
It was about the 3rd or 4th MTV movie ever made coming after NBC's
"The Killers" (released only in theaters), "The Hanged Man" and "See How They
Run", all airing in 1964. I don't think any of these were series pilots.

Thanks!!
