OK, Emperor of the North, with Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine.
Von Ryan’s Express!
The Train, The Silver Streak (1934), The Great Locomotive Chase (Disney), The Casandra Crossing, Runaway Train.
“Thomas the Tank Engines Japanese Vacation”
I’m with you on Cassandra Crossing. My other favorite is probably Disaster on the Coastliner. Not too believable but fun anyway.
Disaster on the Coastliner? I think I may have seen that one a long time ago but I can’t quite remember. I’ll have to say my is The National Dream, although Runaway Train is pretty fun to watch too![tup]
I wish CBC would bring The National Dream out on DVD. That I would buy in a heart beat.
The Grey Fox is also a good train movie, one I also wish was on DVD.
The POLAR EXPRESS, the most realistic train movie I ever saw!..right?
It was a made for TV movie, starred William Shatner and used Amtrak equipment. Haven’t seen it in years.
Don’t forget " Switchback " featuring Dennis Quaid & Danny Glover.
Disaster on the Coastliner is up on YouTube. Other favorites of mine (in no order) are Silver Streak, The Train, and Runaway Train.

While I liked that one, it couldn’t really top “Thomas and the Roundhouse of Doom”.
Emporer of the North, Silver Streak, Breakheart Pass, and Switchback. I love ALL the Thomas flicks, and we can’t forget The General with Buster Keaton!! [8D] (or was it the Great Locomotive Chase?) [%-)]
OMG, I almost forgot Union Pacific and that one about the Harvey Girls with Judy Garland about 20 years old!![:O]
The one with Buster Keaton was ‘The General’.
Thanks Jeffrey - must be getting senile - or is it more senile!![%-)]
If it’s got a train in it, it’s my favorite movie…

The Color of a Brisk & Leaping Day… Its surprisingly really similar to what actually happened ot the Yosemite Valley Railroad. There are great scenes of Steam, Inspection Cars, Armstrong Turntables, a couple of the backshop, as well as wood interurbans, and Electric Freight Motors.
Casablanca
North by Northwest
Young Frankenstein
“Stand By Me” is pretty good when the boy’s are caught on the bridge, And I really liked “The Train” That has some pretty cool military {WWII} scenes in it, Including a German armored Locomotive. And maybe someone could help Me out on this one, A movie about a town surrounded by a forest fire, and they use a train to evacuate, what’s the name of that one?
