I agree the lack of interest from the studios is primarily because the audience doesn't know anything about trains and doesn't care. If this move, which begins in 1929, had been populated by 1954 Buicks and Chevrolets, however, critics would have noticed. The film is actually set prior to the arrival of the GG-1s, but there's plenty of stock footage of earlier locomotives in and out of Penn station that could have been used or enhanced.
