The ex-CB&Q CZ dome-sleeper-lounge-obs Silver Horizon is in a scene in
the newly released movie Pearl Harbor. All that shows is its side and
newly-repainted name plate, with the movie's heroine standing in front
of it. It is obviously on the track next to the train the hero is
leaving on because you also see it from his window with a brief glimpse
of the bottom of the California Zephyr car nameplate.
There is also a brief glimpse of the rear of a Genesis Locomotive in
Phase IV paint scheme (a real anachronism), but it only detracts from
the viewing of those of cursed with knowledge. The only other
anachronism I noticed was a GM bus of post-war window pattern, again a
curse of the knowledgable.
It was an excellent movie with a captivating love story around which the
plot was built. I recommend it highly.
