Movies with AMTRAK

[CoastStarlight99]

What movies have scenes of Amtrak trains in them?

I can name 2:

The Italian Job-The end has the Pacific Parlour Car and other Superliners.
Breaking All The Rules-Has a short scene at a train station with Amfleets.

And, ARE WE THERE YET has a scene with VIA RAIL but no Amtrak even though they have a DVD promotion with Amtrak for 20% off almost any Amtrak travel until Aug. 31! Use promo code H513 .

What am I leaving out?

[NJT Rider]

Rainman
Cheaper By The Dozen
Trading Places

[AmtrakFan]

Garfield

[Amtrak31]

Angels in the Outfield with Danny Glover, Tony Danza, and Christopher Lloyd. There's a train passing by in the scene but you can't see it very long, since it wasn't the main focus of the scene. F40PH's were leading it!

[U-Haul]

Do not forget Witness with F40PH 268 and the Swarm.

I can't remember the name of it. Damn. But I do remeber that the hero chased the villan across the NEC and nearly got hit by 2 GG1s. God I LOVE that scene but I don't remember the movie.

[NJT Rider]

Can't forget Trading Places.

Trading Places is a really good one along with a Gene Hackman Movie called Loose Cannons. It also starred Dan Akyrod(sp?) along with an over weigth guy. There was an Amtrak train beign led by a GP-40 and then they were in Grand Central Terminal and on the NYC Subway. Late 80s/early 90s. I wonder if Under Seige 2 was Amtrak but with the fictional Grand Continental RR Paint job on those 12 Superliners

"Dark Days" is a documentary currently available on Comcast on demand free movies. Its opening several scenes follow an Amtrak train through New York City. It's great.

The first Superman movie with two SDP40F's leading a train, over a section of rail was taken out due to an earthquake, and Supes stood in as the rail!

Me, Myself & Irene shows some AMD-103's if I remember correctly. Right near the end of the movie. I think they were at Providence station.

[Sam Damon]

There was also a futuristic Amtrak train in The Island, a 2005 feature film with Scarlett Johannsen and Ewan McGregor.

Wasn't there a high-speed train (Acela??) used in Rat Race?
