Trains

Part 3 in an ongoing series: Images of trains in cinema

Fantastic. What a lot of work. Beautifully done!

I immediately thought of this - but SO many more examples! North by Northwest - Some Like It Hot - oh, and now Darjeeling Limited - what a wonderful idea for a post!!

Oh! That is such a lovely post. There is something so hopeful and nostalgic about trains I get choked up just looking at pictures. I immediately think of Buster Keaton though. He was crazy about trains. Thanks for reccomending this.

arthurmemory - Your trains series is so fantastic. Thank you so much for it. Keep it comin'!

And yeah, if you like Trains you should definitely check out Tracks! Henry Jaglom directed - if you get a copy with the commentary track, I highly recommend it - it's Jaglom and Hopper talking about the filming - and there's some great stuff in there.
