Any movie trains you know of?

So I was poking around and found that the locomotives from The Fugitive (1993) is still where it was after 20 years ago. (I think I only saw the train scene.)

You know of any more famous movie trains?

Switchback, Derailed, and Money Train are a couple that come to mind for me. I believe there is a train scene in Under Seige 2 as well.

Some that come to mind that I enjoy and haven't been mentioned:

*1986 Tough guys featured SP 4449 The daylight.

*1953 The Titfield Thunderbolt.

*1985 The runaway train.

*1976 The silver streak.

*1988 Buster.

If TV shows also pertain, how about the train from the original Wild Wild West show where James West and Artemis Gordon would travel in luxury while battling evil everywhere they went. It always seem funny to me how the bad guys never were able to just blow up the train while they were away fighting crime. After all, they were very limited as to what paths they could take in the wild west of America since the Rails didn't go everywhere. I loved this show as a kid and also the opening Theme music was and still is one of my favorites.

Ah, there's also Rainbow Sun from Shining Time Station, which appeared in the infamously subpar Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

How about "Von Ryan's Express", the whole war movie revolves arounda bunch of allied prisoners trying to escape from Italy on the POW train they were on after having taken control of it. Excellent movie of its genre 🙂

One thing that nobody has said which surprises me is Canadian Pacific 9782, which she is better known as AWVR 777 from Unstoppable, and no one said Atomic Train. I bet the main reason behind why we don't get movies with real trains in them is because of the budget.
(Anyone heard of Train To Busan? I don't have the guts to watch it.)
correct me if I'm wrong on any of these:
4449 was hijacked in Tough Guys…
The crash in Silver Streak was based off true events involving a GG1…
Rainbow Sun is Union Pacific FEF #844…
Unstoppable's inspiration was the CSX 8888 incident. Despite many requests to buy the engine, CSX said that 8888 was not worth saving and was rebuild into an SD-40-3 in 2013...

There's Canadian Pacific's 2816, a 4-6-4 Hudson locomotive in the 47 minute documentary "Rocky Mountain Express".

I may or may not have been watching that documentary every single day since I got the 4K, Blu-Ray, and Digital Download bundle a few weeks ago.

Do documentaries really count tho?
Recently I heard of an old movie that Flying Scotsman is in. The story is about the express train too for the mostpart, but it's fictional.

I say, "Yes". If you think about it, a documentary is a type of film that can be screened in theaters; in the case of "Rocky Mountain Express" it was filmed for IMAX cinemas, which I may or may not have gone to see it in...

I guess so. A documentary is pretty much a movie with exact details about a historical event.

Anyways there's a video on the anatomy of scenes from Unstoppable:

It took me forever to find the quote from Runaway Train, but here it is.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qlzEBdH0i-Y/T-HEN-mq7TI/AAAAAAAACYo/mFEMm8RxMcQ/s1600/Runaway%2BTrain--Final%2BImage--Richard%2BIII%2BQuote.png
