I saw a wonderful movie several weeks ago; it was called THE NARROW MARGIN and deals with a woman who was witness to a murder and is accompanied, more or less against her will, from Chicago to Los Angeles on the train for testimony. (Not unlike NORTH BY NORTHWEST, but as the gangsters shot to kill, not funny.) The train was never called the Chief but the route was pretty evidently the old ATSF main line, including a top in New Mexico to buy Indian warbonnets and the like(!). This noir is not a movie for people who value consistency, because the engines hauling all out west vary quite a bit, including some great (altho' B&W) photograpy of the "most beautiful engine in the world," apparently footage of the Coast Daylight. About eighty percent of the movie consists of the train trip, and the film captured reasonably well the routine of life on a long-distance train and the look of a diner, etc. THE NARROW MARGIN dates from around 1950 but is available as part of a "Film Noir" collection that my friend ordered thru Amazon. Pretty good movie in its own right, too.
