Trains in The Mask of Zorro?

[Tom]

This thread is great! I gather that there is a train scene in one of the movies...but no one really remembers which movie, what the plot was, or even anything about the train!

Still, I love it when hollywood has trains in movies. I've been dying to see Ticket to Tomahawk for RGS #20. I loved the 1939 classic Union Pacific...in which the J.W. Bowker played a very prominent role. Star Wars' prologue fading text scenes came from Union Pacific.

I was at the Western Pacific RR Museum in Portola last Saturday after teaching the Rules class and nosing around in the archives and found a large print of Sierra RR #3 dressed up as a UP engine from the filming of "Union Pacific".... with a VERY large Zepplin airship hovering overhead above it. About blew me away! Apparently, they used a Zep to film aerial shots.

Never knew that.
