October Sky. Good movie, good story (though embellished quite a bit), and several shots of Southern 4501 pulling coal hoppers. For the movie it had Norfolk and Western markings on it. There was even a cameo with O. Winston Link as the locomotive engineer at one point in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi1WG_9L0mI

"The Train" with Burt Lancaster. Great train shots. No quote sticks out for me.

Re: Favorite train movie
Let's not forget three classics:
- The General, with Buster Keaton (1926).
- Union Pacific, with Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea and directed by Cecil B. DeMille (1939 — perhaps the greatest year in film production history)
- The Great Locomotive Chase, with Fess Parker. Filmed in Cinemascope (1956).

I guess the quote for this movie would be “ten francs is ten francs!” (A coin was used to sabotage the oil flow to the rod bearing to delay the trainload of art.)
