Does anyone know of examples of Mid-century or later New York Central trains in motion pictures? I think the most famous example would be Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, which features the 20th Century Limited. Any other good examples?

"The Band Wagon" has some shots early on of the 20th Century Limited along the Hudson River, and entering the Park Avenue Tunnel, as Tony Hunter arrives in New York.

And if you look and listen carefully, you'll see (or hear, which is how I noticed) the same actor as a porter in both movies.

And the wonderful promotional film, "Flight of the Century", produced by the NY Central.
