I looked thru the entire comments from day one and found that these weren't mentioned:
Phantom Express (1932)
The Billion Dollar Hobo (1977)
Trains, Planes and Automobiles (1987)
Back to the Future III (1990)
Besides the 12" = 1' trains there are also toy trains used (in 3 of 4) as part of the story.

Can anyone remember the movie with Garry Cooper(?), I think, where they are a bunch of professors, and they have the trains running all through the house ?

Does anyone remember a movie called Chartroose caboose from 1960? This movie and all copies were supposedly lost. Because of this , it can't be found anywhere on tape or otherwise. I remember this movie at a very early age , and it was an awesome move! I think it was filmed on the SP. One of the characters in the movie was played by Edgar Buchanan , of Petticoat Junction " Uncle Joe " fame.I keep hoping that one day a copy of this movie will surface, but that is a lost hope, and it is lost to the ages.
Merry Christmas to all !!!!

I remember that movie. The guy was a railroad worker who lived in a converted retired caboose that still had reporting marks. The railroad was bought by another road and they picked up the caboose with him and a wandering kid in it. Don't remember the ending as it was years ago.
The new 2015 Hallmark movie "Once Upon a Holliday" made me laugh. In the opening scene a young girl and her mother are looking at a train display that uses Fastrack. No big deal, just another movie with a train until the next scene where across the bottom of the screen it says "Twenty-Five Years Later." Don't think Fastrack was around in 1990.
"The Fugitive" TV Series first episode. They board a train at LAUPT (ATSF Streamliner). The "train wreck" which freed Dr. Richard Kimball was an H.O. Heavyweight model. In the Movie, a train hits a prison bus, which was spoofed in "Wrongfully Accused" with Leslie Nielsen (the locomotive taking things personally and in a hysterical sequence chases him through the woods).
"The Silver Streak (1934)" Takes place on the Burlington Zephyr.
"Silver Streak" Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor team up to stop a killer on the train. The killer gets nailed by another train while hanging out of the locomotive.

the 2014/ 2015 - Divergent/ Insurgent movies feature an interesting train...
it is a 4-rail system. the locomotive runs on the two center rails and a dual side-by-side consist follows each sharing one of the center rails with the locomotive. ...i'd like to see how they construct a switch!
The train crash in the 1933 "Invisible Man" looked lionelish to me. Adams Family TV show..... I Love Lucy episode with the Lionel Santa Fe AA and aluminum passenger cars.
Ah, we all think about Petticoat Junction and many of the other obvious TV Shows. But there was one that really stood out to me as a young kid:
Alan Hale before he was the Skipper on Gilligan's Island!
Then as far as movies go:
With the ever loving Dynamic Acting Range of Fess Parker (aka - Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone)
Ah, those were the days!

Does anyone recall a movie from back in the 50's in which John Wayne (I think it was he) decided to run an entire train out onto a wooden trestle because the approaching flood was about to destroy the town downriver. His theory was that the weight of the train would hold the bridge or help the bridge collapse and as a result, re-**** the water way. I'm not sure which. The flood waters ended up collapsing the bridge and destroying the train.
My father used to enjoy telling the story of when he and I saw that movie together, and when the bridge collapsed, I stood up and screamed out loud , "You bad man, you killed that train! You killed that train!!" Apparently, I was so outraged (and would not stop scream-scolding the guy) we had to leave the theater. That experience had to have been well before 1955, the year he died, when I was 10.

The Santa Fe tried the same thing in the great Kansas flood of 1951.
It didn't work for them, either...

If you can put up with the corny puppets, this is a decent Lionel commercial from 1960.
A mix of animation and 3-d action that's worth a look.

The movie you are referring to was Tycoon (1947). Here's the synopsis:

The last scene in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is a long view of a short western train going off to somewhere.
Out of Africa - good train sequence.
Unstoppable Is great fun.
PS: and how could you not like "The Lone Ranger" Depp version?

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Ron M. I knew somebody would come through with the correct info. I read what you referred me to and it sounds right (how's that for a 60+years recollection (!)

This is a 3 sec clip of a train layout in Christmas Vacation when they are showing Christmas scenes around Chicago.
watching White Christmas, just saw SF Warbonnet, and SP passenger trains.

Cincytrains posted:Originally Posted by Green Bay & Western:How about the TV show "That Girl" with Marlo Thomas. Some real neat rail footage in the opening scenes. Does anybody know where that was filmed at?
That was filmed on the PRR about were the Secacus Jct. station is. And if you look closely, you will see it is in reverse! The train was heading into NY but the film shows as if it was a engine view. Look at the cars on the NJ Turnpike...
I always thought that the "That Girl" opening sequence was on the LIRR. Thanks for the correct info. Didnt realize the train was going in reverse (like in the French Connection chase scene). I'll go watch the clip on YouTube now.
Some of my favorites have been mentioned already, so here are some
First, some of my movie collection of early 1970s decaying Rotten Apple:
French Connection (1971)*
Live and Let Die (1973)
Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)*
*Already mentioned
Then there is Blazing Saddles (1974) when they're laying railroad tracks and the hilarious scene with the handcar in quicksand.
More recently, there is Source Code (2011) and any of the Jason Bourne films that always feature European trains.
Last but not least and already mentioned Mr Rogers. I used to watch the show for the opening HO village scene and would anticipate any on screen appearance of the Trolley (G Scale?) which was my highlight of the show.
