The movie is set in L.A. Halfway through, the lead characters go to Santa Barbara. We see them going up a ramp from the station tunnel, boarding the train, then the movie continues with a few scenes inside a Surfliner coach and a snack car. After the events in Santa Barbara, there are some scenes of the return trip in another Surfliner.
Aside from good publicity for Amtrak, one of the best things is that the characters don't make a fuss about taking the train-- it's treated as simply the way that Angelenos escape to Santa Barbara. I bet it will surprise a lot of the Great Unwashed Masses who would never have even known that here there be trains!
