First of all, I misspoke in saying ' Rio Grande' was a train movie; it was a John Wayne Western. I meant to say ' Denver & Rio Grande ', which had a few good train scenes in it.
Some of the movies mentioned in the magazine are great train flicks; ' Emperor of the North ', ' Bound for Glory ', ' Breakheart Pass', ' Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid', ' Strangers on a Train',' Von Ryan's Express', even 'Runaway Train' has good train action in it, just ignore the technical gaffes.
Many of the movies listed in the magazine ARE great movies that just happen to have a brief train shot or two in them, this does not make them ' Train Movies'. Hell,' The Great Escape'( not listed ) has more train action in it than many of the movies listed.
