Thread-topic: Film title wanted

Nothing to do with the Burlington, as far as I know, but a friend is trying to identify the title of a film involving a train.

Part of the story is that an African-American soldier was killed during WWII and his body was brought home to his family. The train stopped in the middle of nowhere, the coffin was handed over to his family with full military honours, and then the train left. Ring any bells?

As compensation for your help, on the subject of films, from the Railway Age Gazette in 1914 -
Thirty or more passengers in the smoking car of a suburban train on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Chicago were injured on the night of November 24, when the car was set on fire by an explosion of a moving picture film which was being carried, wrapped in a paper package, by one of the passengers, and which presumably caught fire from a lighted match or cigar stub thrown on the floor.

 

And from Railway Review in 1922 -
Why hound dogs leave home is a subject of deep concern at the present moment to some gasoline rail car salesmen, if not to the entire industry, since the latest and most serious complaint against this type of equipment comes from a state where railroads are not unmindful of the fact that the people have to be shown. Farmers along a branch line of the Burlington Railroad are objecting to the continued operation of a gasoline rail car on this line because the sound of a high pitched horn with which this car is equipped so nearly resembles the horns used for raccoon hunting that the operation of this car is causing all the hound dogs to leave home.
