This train was on display at the Cyclorama in Atlanta last time I visited.. not sure if it is there currently, but if you are a civil war buff and you've never been, that place is great
The real "Texas" is still on display at the Cyclorama; however, the locomotive here isn't the real "Texas". Two other 4-4-0's, the Baltimore & Ohio's "WIlliam Mason" (the "General"), and the Virginia & Truckee's "Inyo" (the "Texas"), were used in lieu of the real "General" and "Texas"; the pair also cameoed as other locomotives during the film, such as the locomotive on the Kingston wye, and the "Catoosa".
Considered using the smokebox to barbecue some ribs once . . . I got a feeling at the end of the run, the ribs would be ready if it's about five hours.
After a lot of debate I finally came up with how they Should of burned the bridges Lighting the actual bridge on fire with ties and boards would of been easier than leaving full boxcars behind to burn. If they had been able to catch the Easily flammable ties on fire and left the boxcar. They might of completed their mission and never got caught.

Tell me about it, both locomotives were perfect for the movie, I loved when they show how much a southern man loves his bacon! At least it has a nice smokey flavor to it! :D Shows too that the Inyo not only looks pretty but she's also a great cook!
Virginia & Truckee #22, the "Inyo" plays the Texas. Baltimore & Ohio #25, the "William Mason" plays the General. Also, B&O's replica of the Layfette, plays Yonah, the switch engine.
THATS WAS THE INYO!!!Damn I though it was the Dayton dressed up as the Texas.I gotta look up what movies the Inyo starred in I only know abou't five of the movies the inyo starred in
@andywatson55 no they are not sisters. The look a lot a like today, but they were built by different companys. Dayton was built in 1873 by the SP Sacramento shops with a wrought iron boiler where as Inyo was built in 1875 by Baldwin with a steel boiler. Inyo was oil fired during the time of this movie with wood being thrown in for effects. Mason however was a true wood fired engine. Hopefully the 2 will show up in another movie together in the future.
haha funny,their frying bacon on the firebox :3

I think that this movie was filmed on the Tallulah Falls Railroad in 1955.

at 0:11 you see strips of bacon hanging on the firebox door - has anyone tried to cook potatoes or toast bread with a woodburning steam engine?

I think I read somewhere that that's also Jim and Artie's train in The Wild Wild West, and the train in Petticoat Junction and Greene Acres.

the train in petticoat junction and green acres is a completely different wheel arrangement it is a ten-wheeler not an american

It's not the full train. Just the front engine. However, I could be wrong. I just know I read it somewhere. :)

The Inyo was awsome in this movie. She was indeed the right engine for the Texas.

Not a bit of it; the engines were wood-burners. Mesquite! (If it was a coal-burner I think I'd pass.)
