I just watched Silver Streak (again) on AMC, (America's Most Commercials.) It's not bad as far as run-away train flicks go. Yep. The train should have gone into emergency and stopped quicker, but then there'd be no crash scene. And the train is coming east on the Rock Island (stopped at Rockdale, outside of Joliet) and the train is shown entering CNW's Madison Street Depot in Chicago. But the shot outside the train director's office shows the south leads to CUS, and the conductor's uniform was almost dead-on save for the silly watch chain worn on the coat instead of the vest. The dining car waiter was convincing. I thought the part of the Porter, played by Scat man Caruthers, was OK, but at the end, when he takes a swig and says, "Hello Chicago!" I felt was insulting to the craft. But hey, it's a movie. A comedy at that. I believe Amtrak was approached for filming, but declined, hence Canada. <br />Mitch <br />
