A to Z: Trains in movies

Robberies, explosions, romance, comedy, suspense … you’ll find all these and more in Trains Magazine’s survey of good and bad train movies.

See our past picks for the best and worst train films, plus lists of good movies with good train scenes, bad movies a train couldn’t save, memorable photographs of trains on film … and more!

It was all in the January 2003 issue of Trains Magazine.

For those not content with only the best and worst, see our extensive list below of over 450 movies with trains in them (as of July 2023 — this list is constantly being updated). Some are feature-length films that explore railroading at its best and worst (i.e. Union Pacific, Runaway Train), while in other films the railroad has a briefer, yet still important cameo role (i.e., Some Like it Hot, The French Connection).
