Trains in films

[Malandro]

Can anyone think of any films that contain scenes of steam trains hurtling along or being fed coal or pistons and wheels and all that kind of thing, steam billowing etc. Black and white is fine - my mind has gone blank all i can think of is back to the future (part 3).

The First Great Train Robbery??? (Sean Connery, don't know if the word "First" was actually included)

Well Brief Encounter has trains in it as it mostly takes place in station but you do not see them stoking the engine. So it may not be what you are after. Classic film though.:-D

North by North West. Just as Cary Grant embraces Eve St Maarie Hitchcock cuts to their train hurtling into a tunnel. I wonder if he was trying to tell us something.
