I watched Pearl Harbor a couple days ago, and there was a part with a steam locomotive in the beginning. I saw the number of it, and it was 3751. Did they really use the engine for the movie? I think its pretty cool. Anyone else notice this?

Yes, I think. Was that the Santa Fe 3571 or the Southern green one? I think it was on of them. Beautiful locomotive, don't ya think! Train in the Movies – image 2

RE: Train in the Movies...

Yes, there was a very brief part (a split second) where the editors left in an Amtrak Surfliner passing in the background. Also yes, that was Santa Fe 3751 in the film, however, during the filming of the movie, the engine was not steamed-up. The "steam" effect was created by using mostly dry ice.
