Train Attendant
About 2 weeks ago I enjoyed watching a 1952 (B & W) movie set about 90 % on a fictional LD train - the Golden West Limited - that was supposed to run CHI to La Junta to ABQ to LA. I think they said it was a "Central Pacific" train. They said this was the 1st time the film had been shown on Turner Classic Movies. There were scenes in bedrooms, sleeping cars, dining car/lounge and a men's restroom. Also a sequence on an open vestibule at the rear of the train. Exterior shots that were supposed to be in the La Junta Station. I didn't get a good look at the credits so I'm not sure how much was filmed on location and how much was done on sound stages. I won't give away the plot, but if you see this in the schedule for TCM again I think it's worth watching. A thriller with some good plot twists. It may also be available as a DVD.
