Movie Star #476 Returns!
| February 11, 2018 10:20AM |
Don't forget that #476 was used in several films in the 1950s and early 1960s, appearing with stars like James Cagney, Barbara Stanwyck, Dale Robertson, and others. She was the "hero" locomotive in Night Passage with Jimmy Stewart and Audie Murphy. Stewart is seen here riding down Blair Street with #476 (and the Arcade) in the background. Learn more about all of the films shot on the D&RGW, C&TS, and D&S in Hollywood's Railroads, Volume Three: Narrow Gauge Country. It is available at: [www.cochetopapress.biz]
P.S.: Hollywood's Railroads, Volume Two: Sierra Railroad will finally be available next week. Its narrow gauge connections were the Westside Lumber Company and Yosemite Short Line.
