What movies/Tv Shows have you seen Trains in?

This isn't a movie or TV show, and the "Trains in video games" topic seems to be missing as searching for the words "Trains video games" brought up nothing of that topic.

The game Fallout 3 has a Monorail System, Subway system, and an old Rail system through out the Capital Wasteland. None of them are able to operate since the game is set in a post nuclear wasteland.

Most of the Monorails tracks are destroyed or the monorail trains have derailed in some places.

The Subway tunnels are collapsing and oddly enough there is always a stopped subway train almost every few yards. Seriously the Subway system had no signaling system obviously. I mean there are So many trains in the same tunnel. I have seen cases where there are 3-4 on the same track just a few feet from each other.

The Railroad is far and few between. Most of it has been recovered by nature of was bombed. A few sites still exist through the whole waste land. The only cars you find for this are boxcars. All the boxcars are red also which is very odd considering how many there are.

"The Pitt": A Fallout 3 expansion that takes place in a destroyed Pittsburgh. How do you get there from Washington D.C? A Handcar of course in an old Railroad tunnel. Arriving outside of " The Pitt" you find a shocker, Yellow Boxcars. The normal red are still there,but the yellow stand out and remind you that this is a whole different place.

In The Pitt you also have to go through an old Steelyard next to the Steel Mill. the yard is littered with boxcars filling up three tracks side by side. Once again the yellow and red make up the consists.

Randomly through The Pitt you will noticed old Trolley lines in the streets. No trolleys are in game but there are enough bus ruins around the lines. My thought is that Bethesda did this as to not make a new Model for the trolleys that would of ran those lines and just fool you by using bus ruins.

That is all I know about trains games,movies, or TV shows as of now. All others I know have already been stated.
 
I am sure this has been posted in the 20 some pages here but I didn't see it... so here it goes.

Loved the crash as a kid... but later in life I found out it was not that great of a movie :-)

The Cassandra Crossing.

For games, the last verison of Brothers in arms (hells highway) has a rail yard level.

And its not grand in its graphics by todays standards, but I think it still counts... the Rail, subway and monorail systems in Sim City 4.
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned already but what about that Florida East Coast GP40 in Bad Boys II, it is numbered 410 and carries an experimental paint scheme that looks like the Current FEC Scheme except that it has stripes along the bottom and the FEC logo along with the Florida East Coast on the sides.
 
The Colony on Discovery channel.
Only caught a few episodes this week when the finale showed. A post apocalyptic story of a small group trying to survive in downtown LA in a factory with a rail spur. Once showed a scene of boxcars, one had MoPac lettering.
Shame I cannot find Discovery channel shows On Demand.

An episode of Burn Notice from earlier this year had a small yard with railcars and locomotives including either a FEC F or E unit.

Dang, I can't believe no one's mentioned Fried Green Tomatoes. That's the first movie I that came to my mind when I looked at the topic! A&WP 290!
Also October Sky has the 4501 painted for N&W. And there was a movie filmed at TVRM recently, too, with the 610.
Click to expand...

I saw october sky and yes I agree the 4501 was painted in the N&W colors,she had a different whistle and the man that was driving her was none other than O winston Link himself!,the engine was seen hauling a coal train.:cool:
 
Three of my good friends can be seen on the trains in the scenes shot at TVRM in Leatherheads. When we went and bought it, the clerk said hey that was shot here y'know. My buddy said yea I know I'm in it. :hehe: True Story
 
GP35, GP38, Dual Air Horn

I think the the Dukes of Hazzard's locomotive was a GP35 or maybe a gp38 in Erie Lakwana Colors.

By the way, what's up with the Dual air horn, no flathead EMD I have ever heard of had a Dual.
