Okay.The Texas State Railroad was featured in a pair of mini series from the '90's:
(1)"Streets of Laredo".The official sequel to Larry mcMurtry's"Lonesome Dove".
Woodrow Call(James Garner)is hired by the railroad to hunt down train robber Joey Garza(Alexis Vega).Great scenes of Texas State RR freight and passenger equipment on the Texas Pacifico*(*Former South Orient,P&SF)Marfa-Presidio Line in West Texas.
(2)"Rough Riders".The TNT Mini Series about Teddy Roosevelt(Tom Beringer)and the Spanish American War.The Texas State RR is featured prominitely throughout it.

A few others:2010's"Unstoppable";the 2007 remake of"3:10 to Yuma";2008's"Appaloosa";2003'ssequel to"Gettysburg":"Gods and Generals".
