Don't know if it's been mentioned here, but the film Lion has a lot about trains in India, including some cool shots of the Calcutta (now Calcutta, or however it's spelled now) train station.
Also am watching a somewhat less compelling film called Genius now, about good topic I think (Max Perkins and Thomas Wolfe) and with good cast but for some reason kind of blah script so far . . . anyway, some trains there too. But better on trains if the Thomas Wolfe story "The Far and the Near," if you've never read it. I think you can find a free copy on line; it's short.

The Promos, incidentally, show actors standing in the middle of the narrow gauge tracks.
