I found it on a website honoring the child actress Lassie Lou.



"The Helen Holmes Serial (1924)"
I think Webs of Steel deserves a hard look, based on its description at
Amazon
:
Star Helen Holmes performed her own stunts; one involving a runaway train speeding toward a child trapped on a trestle.
Also, the cover picture shows her wearing a big hat.

From Necessary Storms:
In 1925 they made five features. One, Webs of Steel, is one of the more unusual films of the era ─ the Helen in this movie is the Helen of old: strong, intelligent, fearless. She rescues a child and a puppy on a railroad trestle while wearing high heels.
