it was not BRHS involved, rather IRM
the heavyweight train in a town with the BN F units, made to be B&M was in
Glencoe.
There are some shots from the film moves on the irm website, in the member
gallery, a folder for passenger cars.

I saw it yesterday. One of my questions, "Where is the location of the
Executive Fs arriving?"
I thought Riverside, but it's been so long I'm not sure. Anyone know for
sure? Also the scene of the drunk Indian sitting in the open vestibule is a
little hard to take, and the lounge car with a SP Daylight picture at one
end and a Santa Fe freight F at the other end. Other errors too, but the
star of the show, the Burlington E5. I'd love to see the BRHS listed in the
credits someday.

Has anyone seen the new movie, "Flags of Our Fathers"? There are several
scenes using CBQ equipment. The best scene is the front on view of the Ill
RR Museum CBQ E-5(don't remember if unit had red or black nose
stripes)arriving at Chicago Union Station. Another scene shows a Northern
Pacific Slumbercoach and post war Budd streamline fluted car(unable to
identify type of car) with full skirts like the CBQ/CZ cars purchased after
the end of WWII. However, the scene most rail fans should recognize as
laughable(typical Hollywood blunder) is an arriving train with the BN
Executive F-9AB paint scheme set in the spring of 1945!! At least the
heavyweight coaches fit the scene/time/era the movie tried to duplicate. I
got my five bucks worth from "Flags of Our Fathers", but liked Iwo Jima
w/John Wayne better. Anyone else remember any other scenes that Clint
Eastwood failed to have authenticated by the BRHS!! Have a nice day. Jules
