I saw that same episode of CSI you're talking about. They don't just get how reality works. A real CSI said on a TV show that the show gets it all wrong. The RS-11 paint scheme looks like a cross between the IC and the BNSF(heritage I or II)

In that cheesy 90s movie Atomic Train, the train looked like it was pulled by a BN loco.

 This movie was filmed using BC Rail trackage and Locomotives. This was filmed on the line in between Vancouver and Kamloops, British Columbia. There was a part where they showed Avalanche alley which is very distinctive if you have ever seen it in person. I don't remember if they were on the CN side or the CP side of the canyon.

 

Also Quantum Leap had several episodes that involved trains.

How about some free-lancing?  There's the 1976 E-8 in 1976's - "Silver Streak" - with Gene Wilder, Jill Clayburgh, Richard Pryor, and Patrick McGoohan.  The whole movie centers on passenger train who-dun-its.

If memory serves me correctly I thought they were F units from CP rail.  Weren't they repainted for AMrail.  Definitely CP rail units though.
