In the movie Omen 2 (1978) there is a scene in the NYC area where a Rock Island switcher is moving piggy back trailers around. I always wondered where this was filmed? Can someone show me on google maps? The area looked pretty slummy. It was along the waterfront somewhere. Nice shot of a baby blue Rock Island hack in that scene too. Yard probably set up for the movie the trackage looked all weeded. I don't even know if it was flimed in NYC area as I believe the Rock Island was a midwest line...may have been Chicago.
Hi Carajul,
I dug up this information and it looks like the area in question is Chicago, making perfect sense in seeing
a baby-blue Rock Island engine.
