Planes, Trains, and Automobiles The Filming Locations Then and Now

Scott you should have been a director the way you cut in and out of scenes fantastic work again another coaster ride thank you stay safe

This movie will always have a special place in my heart. Because of the time it was filmed which was such a wonderful time in my life to the meaning and overall story. Loved Candy in this. His best work

[@Aaron-ox8ye]

John Candy has what most actors don't. A heart

I just recently got to watch this movie right here on youtube! And I loved it, two legendary actors in a legendary filmmakers movie, made it an instant classic! I teared up at the ending though, quite emotional!

Actually they don't make comedians like this anymore...Chevy, Martin, Candy, Murray, Short, Belushi, and Aykroyd. They were all on a different level! I wish someone would do Dirty Rotten Scoundrels filming locations..."Mother...not Mother...Reallllyyy"

[@jasonchristopher2977]

@@kylereese4822 Like I said, we was in a big hurry to grow up and missed so much time. I never fully understood what the older folks was saying until I hit 25, then 30, then 40 I really got it. I appreciate cell phones and computers but we waste so much time with a screen. I see daily families out doing family things that I loved to do then but now everyone even the babies got a screen. No talking, jokes etc just stare at screen. I'm so glad we didn't have this. Ppl born before 2000 have no idea what it was like riding in cars playing the games we did, seeing the scenery, and really soaking up what we saw and where we went. The trip was as enjoyable as tge destination. Screens have their place as do toys etc but they're used too much. Kids see and know things we didn't until we were adults or alot older at least. I remember seeing side boob in teens and it was so exciting. Now that's nothing. We stayed pure and innocent alot longer. Now 12 yr olds are at same place we was at 18 plus. That's too much. Kids need to be kids. Wed watch pg13 movies at 12 and think we was doing such daring things. I recall seeing Full metal jacket at that age and was forever impressed. Main reason for wanting to join the Marines. Summers on the lake, seeing the Ford plant where my pap retired. All that is just distant memories. Ppl die and you just keep going. Life don't seem to have the wonder and excitement it did. Im thankful I get to live it through my kids. Learning about a subject by asking ppl, reading books and going to library using the dewy decimal system. Kids don't know what that is or who is dewy? I miss those decades so much.

[@theresadoherty9783]

Another great recap of another fave. Fun fact, you may or not recall I'm from Ontario, well once uat so was John Candy years ago a buddy was driving down the road in the small town of Newmarket Ontario where John had a home and he sees John beside him in a car at a stop light, trying not to display too much excitement for fear of looking like a complete idiot he smiled at John Candy who in return who gave him a big smile and a nod of the head. A very classy guy and true story

[@johnpatterson4272]

John Candy and Steve Martin at their zenith as comedic performers. While not one of my personal favourites in the John Candy movie catalogue. This is undoubtedly the foundation for Chris Farley's 'Tommy Boy' which came later. For us devoutly Canadian John Candy fans, this movie is a gift to remember.

[@angieburnett4341]

John Hughes was the bomb for movies! As was John Candy, SUCH an awesome guy--the real article, what you see is what you get! I heard one of his friends I believe, say he was kind to a fault. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him. This is one of my all-time faves, I watch every Thanksgiving. And The Great Outdoors every summer. SO many quotes from these great movies! I enjoyed this tremendously, I've not seen anyone else do this one. Thanks Scott, this was great!

[@haibiker7104]

Very well done, what a great effort you’ve made, this is a pleasure to watch.

[@danieldominguez3920]

Hey Scott, you were almost there... The train station scene was not shot in Wilmette, instead it was shot @ the Woodstock Metra Station. In the early 2000's, I used to visit a coffee shop in the station that occupied the waiting room area where the scene was filmed. @ that time, the same double doors that can be seen behind Steve Martin & the light fixture hanging from the ceiling were still there.

[@chooch1995]

The Chicago & Northwestern Railroad used a cookie cutter approach to many of their train station designs. Woodstock’s design is very similar to that of McHenry & others from that era. I’ve been digging for this location forever & i’d like to believe it was Woodstock, but it’s rumored to be the old Wilmette station, torn down in the early 2000’s to make way for the current. Therein lies the problem….no station to compare to. Plenty of photos online of the exterior, but none inside.

Great video. Just found this a year later. Getting ready to watch the movie for Christmas--I didn't get to watch it for Thanksgiving. I live about an hour away from Braidwood, IL, and I had to stop off to see the motel used in move. I was glad to see that the stone wall was still there, it was about the only thing that looked the same. I had no idea that the motel was used for the interior shots as well. I always stop off in Woodstock as well, mainly because of Groundhog Day but I knew about the brief scene in Planes and Trains as well.

Beautiful coverage! The Edie McClurg scene is what made it "R" because they F bombed 15 times. lol I saw you doin Owen. I can't believe you found these places. I'm from the area and at the time I thought it sucked. The winters. and parkas and getting stuck and bar life getting beat up. unemployment. This made it better. Entertaiment defies economy.

[@jimhaines8370]

Thanks for spending the time and effort to track down these locations, I will say in the same way you were questioning the train station I will agree that it has changed a lot as the old building looked mostly wooden and the new only the that high ceiling. I would guess in the over thirty years that if they filmed it there it is now a newer building as too many things have been changed but that would be in line with making it more modern and energy efficient and less maintenance needed being brick not wood. Also when you were at the train station where it had a ramp now instead of a platform it is mostly due to the laws about making things more accessible for the handicapped. It looks to have some type of scenic train rides from that station still which is a small town common thing.

I remember when they were shooting in Lambert Airport in St. Louis---I was 12 and we were in the middle of moving from St. Louis to Chicago and my mom and I were taking a lot of flights. Ironically, after moving, my parents' friends lived in the Kenilworth neighborhood where Neil Page's house was. That movie takes me right back to places I recognize and remember in both Missouri and Illinois. Note: they edited out a portion of the film where Neil and Del accidentally drive too far up into Wisconsin, which is why the trooper (played by Michael McKean) who pulls them over (which in the continuity of the film as edited should be in Illinois) is a Wisconsin trooper.
