Movies, games, print and TV have showcased some amazing trains, both real and fictional. I remember the shovelnosed commuter trains in old Batman comics, the 20th Century Limited in North By Northwest, the Obsidian black NYC "Midnight Limited" from the Animatrix, The plains streamliner that Superman raced home, the crashing freight train in The Fugitive and the Jade green express trains from Final Fantasy VII. as well as many more
So my question is: What is your favorite train from film, print or pixel, and why?
I'd have to go with the Final Fantasy express trains as my favorite fictional train because they were so amazingly beautiful, and such an original design, and I'd have to go with the 20th Century Limited from North By Northwest as my favorite based upon a real train. The 20th was as much a part of the plot as the characters in the movie and showed the romance and excitement that were supposed to follow the train.
