Yes, there was a recent Sherlock Holmes made-for-tv movie that was clearly filmed in Canada. What gave it away? The all-weather cab on the steamer, of course!
Travel Town is a great place to go take measurements and reference photos for steam detailing projects. A few details on my Shifter are based on the 4439 UP 0-6-0 there.
And so many other shows have Griffith Park as the background in general. My wife's grandfather and his brothers grew up in Hollywood (they have a star on the walk of fame, actually - the Watson family) and played in Griffith Park. That's how they got their start, as child star extras.
