Here's a nice mid-morning feel good clip from "The Flim-Flam Man" (1967); with George C. Scott delivering a wonderful present-tense life appreciation rant while him and his younger unsure con partner travel the pastoral daytime countryside by train tracks trying to escape the law.
It's actually "while HE and his younger (comma) unsure...".

@Fireinthetires : The diesel is a L&N locomotive. There is a clear scene at the beginning of the movie on one version...cut out on others.

I'm just curious as a railfan-which railroad was represented in this scene? I tried to recognize the paint sceme on the locomotive and was unsure. I'm thinking that it might have been the L&N (Lousville & Nashville), since the movie was filmed in Kentucky, but I could be wrong-perhaps it's just some locomotive they pulled from a museum someplace.

My favorite movie,we visited the Kentucky towns of Lawrenceburg and Winchester where this movie was filmed in Sept.,Oct. 1966.Much of these towns look like they did forty years ago!
