Don't know if anyone's yet mentioned, or if anyone has seen this pic...
"42", the biopic of Jackie Robinson, has made use of some great steamers (or amazing CGI), to add to the sense you are immersed in 1947. There weren't enough train shots, of course, but there is a particular shot that stuck out in my mind...
A steamer is pulling in past a ball park, and I swear it is a Bachmann, 'er I mean a WM Consolidation, decorated for some Florida railroad (where J.R. played in the minors).
Some other cool shots, mostly period passenger cars.
The movie is really, really good by-the-way. The trains were the icing on the cake.

Well, Mr, Bachmann, is this true or not?
When I go to see this movie, it is not going to be for the train scenes.
