I must say that even though I'm American I've got a helluva soft spot for UK Steamers.
-
And as a Brit I'm happy to admit that US steam was unsurpassed!

I like the Illinois Central railroad yard and start up sequence (the deep resonant chuffs of steam and the wheelslips sound great). More of an MKT and MoPac man myself, by the IC was a good road, too.

The music is "Coronation Scot" by Vivan Ellis. Google "Coronation Scot:" and you will see the beautiful train and information about the music

@KH990j I suspect it was composed specifically for the movie.

@Strasburg1991 operating costs, when passenger trains were in their decline it was costing their host railroads too much to operate them and not enough passenger revenue to back up the expenditures, but I still don't get why many railroads scrapped all their streamliners, they were a milestone. I guess too many executives were too busy focused on the pocketbook, than on the historical value.
