    trains in movies

    :cool: And another one..... 'The last Detail' or it might have bin called 'The Final Detail' . With a much younger Jack Nicholson. A great great movie. It's got GG1's in main line service on the north east corridor, PRR stations, and foul mouth sailors. What else do you need in a movie.
