Just watched "The Seven-Ups," from 1974, which was on TCM over the weekend. While not a train movie, the climactic action takes place hard by Penn Central trackage in the Bronx, on Erskine Place. A couple GG-1s roll by, one in PC paint, one in Amtrak. And a TurboTrain goes by behind Roy Scheider.
Oh, and for fans of chase scenes, Bill Hickman, the driver of the car Steve McQueen was chasing in "Bullitt," is the lead driver in a chase in this movie. They cross the GWB to Jersey, and then, by magic, they're back on the other side of the Hudson, on the Taconic at the exit for Briarcliff Manor and Millwood.
