Title: Train rides in films you can enjoy in real life Post by: grahame on May 12, 2019, 06:47:07 From CNTraveller (https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/great-film-train-rides-you-can-enjoy-in-real-life)
Quote Ever since the Lumière brothers’ 50-second ‘Arrival of a Train at Ciotat Station’ amazed and terrified its audience in 1896, cinema has loved the railway. No wonder: trains make an enclosed stage set, a built-in plot driver and, with all that moving scenery, a meta-replica of the cinema experience itself. And, unlike a hike to Middle Earth or a journey through space and time, many of the movies’ great locomotive moments are available to us all to share. Here are some to try ... One has a GWR headline name ... one was recorded on the West Somerset railway (in BR days) to represent Liverpool to London !!
