A couple of my favorite movies with trains in them:
'Trading Places', with Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtis - features great Amtrak footage including an Amfleet car w/ one side almost no windows. Was this a wreck - rebuild sleeper I had once read about ???
' DUEL ', with Dennis Weaver - I just LOVE when the tanker truck driver is trying to shove Weaver's car into the Espee freight in Soledad Cyn. This is the movie that made me want to become a truck driver !!!
'The Great Escape', with Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Gardner - great footage of a train spinning the drivers as it pulls out of the station. Also a great stunt with Gardner & Donald Plesance jumping off the moving train.
' To Live & Die in L.A. ', with William Peterson and William Defoe - features a foot chase on the foot bridge over Espee Bull Ring yard with a Crud underneath.
