RE: Trains vote for the best trains movie

Hmm..I tried the Murder on the OE; couldn't complete it; cuz I couldn't back the stinkin car into the siding (train stalled)..Even with an SD40-2, then a pair of SD40-2W's, then an SD40-2W + SD70M, then 2 SD70M's, then 2 SD90MAC's; then a trio of P42's..The consist didn't want to budge into the siding..(And don't even think of tellin me to use a steam loco..I can't handle steam)

Actually Murder on the Orient Express is an Agatha Christie Book I read along with mystery of the Blue Train. Murder on the OE was adapted into a movie and is very very good. -NHtrain

RE: Trains vote for the best trains movie

Uh-h-h, Sorry 'bout this, but...
You could at least pick movies where the train operation is realistic.
My vote is for "Emperor of the North"
