#75 is quite the movie star. It also has a featured role in Richard Brooks' rowdy western THE PROFESSIONALS--does double duty both as a private locomotive the "J.W.Grant" and then later in the film as a NdeM locomotive stopped by Mexican 'revolutionaries' led by Jack Palance.

Neat film.

I haven't seen the movie in a long time but it was either #51 or #75. Both were ex-Great Western Ry 2-8-0s. Great movie.........Bronson, mountain, snow and trains........just doesn't get much better! LOL
