As for games, I have a couple of new ones.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - the multiplayer level "derail" centers around a rail line where a train has recently wrecked. (Fun fact - the loco, which looks like a GP20-GP38 hybrid, has the number 1337 on the side)

Uncharted 2 - one of the entire levels takes place on a train.

"Unstoppable" - a movie coming a out later this year starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. A chemical train becomes a runaway and they have to stop it before it wipes out a city.

I've seen clips of the movie shoots on youtube. It looks like the directors are doing everything in their power to avoid any CGI effects. I have high hopes for this!:D

That's based off the runaway in Ohio with CSX 8888 a.k.a. "Trouble". She's derailed and I think she's a curse on the CSX system a real curse. :eek: A curse on CSX. It was better as Conrail 6410 and now, it's tormenting CSX and it will for all eternity. :o
 
There is two films I forgot to mention, the first one... "Brief Encounter", I would be very suprised if this hasn't been mentioned already.

And the second film is based on the Great Train robbery of the 60's called "Robbery", the complete film is in parts on you tube, here is the link...

This in my view was the best great train robbery film ever made...

These are just two of my favourites

Films with trains

I have read through all 23 pages. I haven't seen:

The Ladykillers
- British Ealing comedy starring Alec Guiness

Seven Percent Solution
- I think a Sherlock Holmes movie
- filmed on the Severn Valley Railway in Worcestershire England

Apologies if I've missed them and they have already been listed.

Cheers

GTA Liberty City has a working elevated railway and subway with NYC style cars and abandoned cars of a different style in the old, abandoned subways.

I tryed to make it in Trainz, but failed.
 
A movie with different trains is "Duel", based in the USA in the 70's.
"Malcom" has many trams (what its based on).

I recently found this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJXH-cA5f3w This is an episode of 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?', a series that aired in the early-mid 90's if I remember. The storyline on this one may be a bit cheesy, but I think it's worth a watch.

Blimey it's very Thomas and the Magic Railroad,

I wasn't a fan of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, ugly girl meets dosy bloke, who knows the fat controller, who has gone on holiday to get away from the dosy bloke, who has been doing his head in, dosy bloke needs sprinkling of goofy dust to make the whole American made magic rubbish work properly, the film should have been made in Britain, were it was based and made for, why on earth it was sold to the Americans I'll never know, don't get me wrong, I love the Americans and I love American TV, but when they faff about with other country's programs, they are the worst in the world....

Leave Thomas as Thomas and all his friends, and if your going to make another movie about Thomas, make it about Thomas, and not about dosy and ugly, keep them well out of it, I love Thomas and his friends on the island of sodor, I don't care about strange magic dust and rubbish about a dosy twonk of a lad with an ugly girl who fell through the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...

As for the film tdstaylor has placed on here, I like it, it's ideal for kids who like trains and features a model railroad, nice find tdstaylor, it's miles better than Thomas and the ugly girl.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned these-

"The Great Escape"
"Kelly's Heroes"

They are both WWII movies based in Germany, with trains.
 
I don't know if this has been said but on Call of Duty World at War online there is roundhouse, heaps of German Trains and you can jump onto them.

Incidentally, the US magazine Trains has released a special publication called 'The Top 100 Train Movies of All Time', which includes a few surprises in it (such as the little-known Australian film Look Both Ways). There seems to be a preference more towards older 'classic' films than modern releases however.

I thought it was worth mentioning here as it's relevant to the topic. ;)
 
I'm not going to look through all the pages so forgive me if this has been posted.

"Sullivan's Travels", 1942, Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake:

Tired of churning out fluffy comedies, Hollywood director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) decides to write a serious, socially responsible film about human suffering. When his producers point out that he knows nothing of hardship, he hits the road as a hobo. On his journey, Sullivan invites an out-of-work actress (Veronica Lake) to be his traveling companion, and the pair get into more trouble than they ever dreamed of.

Well not trains per say but I was watching Law & Order SVU and in the title sequence the picture of Ice-T has him standing on a NYCTA Elevated station.
