"A man and a train/ A train and a man. They both try/ To run as far/ And as fast as they can. But a man's not a train/ And a train's not a man/ A man can do things/ That a train never can." What a music video-worthy opener that flick has! Glad AOS saved at least one of the engines (19?) that appeared in that flick. |

Former OP&E 5, nee Magma Arizona 5, is on display at the Galveston Railroad Museum. |

We ( HICO) did a publicity shoot for that movie with Ernest Borgnine and other cast members in the CRRofNJ Jersey City terminal with a live under steam RDG. T-1 2102. It was lots of un and we came away well paid and with lots of great photos. Fond memories. Ross Rowland |

I think I remember it being used as a passing by engine when they were stopped in Eugene |

The station was Salem, by the way. It was a prop built in the yard at Cottage Grove. |

There were only two live steam locomotives in Emperor Of The North, the 5 and the 19. The 5 played the roles of three different locomotives in the film. OP&E no. 1 was seen in the background in Salem, but was not in steam. |
