The Train, set in 1944 France and based on a true hypothesis. Gritty, black and white, but a serious film and also grimly realistic about railroads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Train_(1964_film)

It looks like Fillmore supplied some props for Unstoppable but no real filming. It would take a lot to change So Cal into WV, PA or Ohio. I just spent two weeks in So Cal and love it but very different than home....WV!Aloha
A credit to the Cinematographer is blending locations. Portions of Unstoppable was filmed in Southern California at the Filmore and Western Railway http://www.fwry.com/ If you go to their credits page you will be surprised by the number and names listed.
Or on the Andy Griffith show a Union Pacific yellow loco and cars arriving at 'Mayberry NC'!!!If you look at some movies and/or TV shows where people leave from (say) WAS - and there's a Surfliner in the shot! Oops!
Don't forget the male and female recordings (at the curb) starting to argue!Since the topic includes transportation, Airplane!

It still is to me!when railroad travel was the "Only Way To Travel"......
Same here......I am not afraid to fly.....but refuse to submit myself to what is required to fly and then be crammed into a small tube. I drive or go by train.....train prefered.It still is to me!when railroad travel was the "Only Way To Travel"......
Ditto! It's got a Million of 'em,I especially like the Inflight Movie being Aircraft Crashes and the TV Actress that talks "Jive" with the Black Guys! The Cockpit Scenes are also Classic! (ie Kareem Abdul Jabar as the Co-Pilot "Roger Murdock!" :lol:"Airplane!" -- not just one of my favorite transportation movies, but one of my favorite movies of all time.
(It's a parody of an earlier movie called "Zero Hour," which shows up on TCM from time to time.)
"Roger, Roger""Huh?"The Cockpit Scenes are also Classic! (ie Kareem Abdul Jabar as the Co-Pilot "Roger Murdock!" :lol:
That one and 'The General' are both good and have them in my collection.The Great Locomotive Chase by Disney is a well-made reenactment of a Civil War train stealing. Stars Fess Parker.
YES!!! I've mentioned that to my wife. Some of Airplane! is in your face humor, and other humor is very subtle, but no less effective....To this day I still quote lines from time to time and find myself noticing little things I had somehow missed or forgotten previously, such as the background sounds of a propeller aircraft seamlessly merged with the visuals of a jetliner. ...
