"We're gonna stop the train before Rockdale. Closest is... the Harris Mill Junction. Contact the railroad, tell them to make out like it's a routine emergency inspection. And have Bronsky bring his men up in choppers from the south. Get all the passengers off the train, and I don't want any slip-ups." I actually own bits from the locomotive crash at the end of the film, including from the mirror and pillar it goes through, and the fake EMD builder's plate from the mockup locomotive. You have a beautiful railroad!

I was not there for the filming, but I was at the time trying to figure out how to start a career in the film industry, so I was making friends at the studios and was sometimes invited to drop by for a visit. I became friends with one of the art directors at 20th Century Fox in 1977 and he invited me down to the studio and toured me through the train car sets, which were sourced from actual Budd and Pullman cars. I got to lay down in Jill Clayburgh's roomette bunk where she and Gene Wilder had their love scene. I got to go through the lounge/bar and got one of the dinner menus. Sadly, some of the items I got were stolen years ago. It's one of my top ten favorites.
