[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Trainnut484</i> <br /><br />I find myself guilty of #'s 19 and 20. The old tv show "The Fugitive" has some great shots of Kimble running through the yards, including a running-straight-to-the-camera shot of a Santa Fe PA. <br /> <br />Take care[:)] <br /> <br />Russell <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I too am probably one of the biggest nitpickers when it comes to trains on TV/movies. Incidentally, the introduction of The Fugitive has a scene which is supposed to be of a train derailing, but is actually a Lionel train coming off the tracks, you can even read "Lionel Lines" on it. <br /> <br />I can think of a couple of bad trains scenes on TV. I once saw a movie (can't really remember the title or what it was about) that took place in the 50's and featured a BN train. Also, in an episode of Hogan's Heroes (which incidentally is one of my favorite shows) there was a scene of an SP GS-4 northern that was supposed to represent a German train. Things like this can just wreck watching television. <br /> <br />I can relate to points one and two. I'm not looking for a house yet, but when I do I'll be looking for one by the tracks. As for #2, when my family goes on a vacation I always make sure we see all the railroad museums that we can. When we come back and get all the pictures developed, there's more pictures of trains than anything else. <br /> <br />I actually did see all these points on the internet once before.
