Movies with trains in them

 

  • "Emperor of the North
  • "Ticket to Toltec"
  • "Tough Guys" starring Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, and SP Daylight #4449.
  • "Silver Streak" with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was pretty good, and had a fairly impressive (fake) crash at the end.
  • "The Fugitive" had a great train wreck near the beginning of the movie. However, the logistics of the action involved made no sense: Harrison Ford jumps off the bus just as it's hit by the lead loco, then is chased (in leg irons, no less!) by the second loco as it derails. Seems to me the second loco would have reached the point where he jumped by the time he hit the ground.
  • The Great Train Robbery-Sean Connery

  • Our Hospitaility- Buster Keaton

  • Where the #@$& is that Gold"...starring, of all people Willie Nelson
  • Back to the Future III. Can't forget Doc Brown's flying 2-4-2. First flight, not too successful, but once he installed the flux capacitor...........?!?!?!!!!
  • "Bridge on the River Kwai. Okay, so the train was only in the last ten minutes of the movie.
  • "Spiderman II and The Warriors. Both made good use of subway/elevated rail.
  • "Ghost
