Gentlemen,
IMO the best train movie ever made was Night Passage, because of General Jimmy Stewart and SGT Audie Murphy. The open air rolling stock and old coach cars are just incredible.

Then I realized I was holding the bravest man who ever lived in my arms - Jimmy Stewart
High praise from the General! Jimmy's & his wife Elaine were close friends with my parents. Audie Murphy was my military career mentor, and my Fathers good friend. No train movie will ever top this one for me.

I too grew up with Jimmy Stewart and his wife, although to us she was Gloria. I have his autograph hanging in my office here at home. He would walk his dog past our house almost every day when I was a kid and I finally worked up the nerve to ask him for his autograph (neighbors weren't supposed to do that :-)
