I wouldn't really classify this as a "railroad movie" and am not sure how many trains scenes there actually are in it as I haven't seen it yet. Still, I would like to nominate it for the worst movie train scene of all time! I recently saw the video for the movie "Jakob the Liar" with Robin Williams in a store (I almost bought it out of curiousity, I'll have to rent it). Now, the movie takes place in the ghettos that Jews were shipped to in World War II. The cover for the box shows pictures of the main characters, barbed wire, fire and a train. Now, if the filmmakers were going to do this properly they'd find a European steam locomotive that operated at that time, but as we know Hollywood doesn't always do things accurately. Now, if someone told me about a WWII movie with bad train scenes I'd expect it to have an American or British steam engine. This is much worse! The train is a fairly modern EMD diesel!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if it's a GP or SD (it's kind o hard to tell from the picture). What idiot could ever believe that is at all accurate?! I found a picture of it at www.001abc.com/MilitaryAndWar/jakobtheliar.html . I wonder if it has scenes of SS troops riding in a Ford Mustang? But like I say, I haven't actually seen it, so maybe that train isn't in it, but I'd suspect it is in an important part of the film to be put on the cover.
