[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] Since I was a movie buff (movie theater manager, even) long before I was a train buff, I should have had something to contribute early on, but I just couldn't think of any! Now, I think my favorite movie with a train is Trading Places, wherein two rich guys turn Dan Aykroyd into a street bum and they take Eddie Murphy off the streets and turn him into a rich guy. An Amfleet train (with European style compartments) plays a significant role leading towards the climax. I especially loved a cameo by Franken & Davis as baggage handlers arguing over whose turn it was to drive the cart. Regarding the Superman scene, it was brief, but it was clearly an Amtrak train he rescued. It couldn't have been the Coast Starlight, though, because it was out in the desert. Out of curiosity I just played back the Superman scene on my DVD, and noticed it had a mixed consist of Hi-Levels, two Heritage sleepers, and a vista dome bringing up the rear! The dome car had Phase I paint. I could make out the pointless arrow. I think the rest of the train was Phase II, but it was kinda blurry. [/QB][/QUOTE]
