Re: Rio Grande C-18 #319 Mystery Paint

I noticed this yesterday while looking at clips from the movie but it appears 345 stood in as both 268 and 319 at different points in the movie. Check out this link to the crash scene and notice when the crew bails at about 31 seconds in that the engine has fluted domes but has 319 on the cab side which as we all know the real 319 had smooth domes. You can also see the fluted domes and number 319 on the number plate in the head on shot at around the 2 minute mark.
