Movies are one of my interests. At cinema or DVD/Blu Ray, not TV w commercials. I don’t have dish or cable so no fancy outlets
I was thinking of movies I’ve enjoyed that were train centered or train influenced.
These are ones I came up with
Atlas shrugged
Unstoppable
Polar express
Girl on a Train
The Lion
Throw Mama from Train
Bullet Train
Murder on Orient Express
There are no doubt many more. Do you have a favorite? One or more?

OTTAWA — Canada will take in extended families of Canadians in war-torn Gaza for up to three years, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announces.
The move, which is due to take effect on January 9, will allow Canadians to reunite with spouses or common-law partners, children and grandchildren regardless of age, siblings and their immediate families, as well as parents and grandparents.
Miller says the aim of the policy change is “to get people safe” as the humanitarian crisis has made Gaza “unlivable.”
The government had previously focused on getting more than 600 Canadians, their spouses and children out of Gaza.
Miller estimates that it could see hundreds more resettled in Canada while fighting continues.
He stresses at a news conference, however, that it is “extremely difficult to leave Gaza and may not be possible for everyone.”
“These are situations that are not under our control” and there is a “whole waterfall of scenarios where things could potentially go wrong,” he warns.
Miller says he also ordered immigration officials to prioritize permanent residency applications for Palestinians.
The newcomers will require documentation and security checks including a biometrics screening in Cairo before being allowed to board flights to Canada.
Ahmad Al-Qadi, with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, told a separate news conference in Ottawa that many Canadians who fled Gaza in recent months had to make an “impossible decision to leave parents and siblings behind in a war zone because they don’t have citizenship.”
He thanked the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for expanding the eligibility criteria to Canadians’ extended families.
“Murder on Orient Express”
That was probably my favorite one.
Here is another one but I haven’t seen it. Sounds good though.
“Runaway Train”
Philosophical action thriller about two escaped prisoners who hide on board a train speeding through Alaska. The driver suffers a fatal heart attack and the train races out of control through the icy wilderness. With the railroad signalmen unable to stop it and a vindictive prison warden desperately pursuing them by helicopter, the train’s passengers look set to face disaster. Based on a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa.
What a great theme, maybe we can have Trump Train movie nights. We can watch the same movie, making comments like we do at rallies.
Murder On the Orient Express from 2001. 1 hour 25 minutes

Do you want to go ahead and post about people and picking specialties? I’m sorry I just took cold medicine and I can’t remember exactly what it was about.
i took another covid test, I can’t believe this is a regular flu. It was negative and Cadbury had a great time playing with the little rectangular plastic thing. At least it served some purpose. I made my usual pasta sauce with ground beef and tomatoes for dinner. I couldn’t taste a thing. I had my husband smell my spices because I thought all of them went bad. I just kept shaking it into the pasta sauce, and it never got any flavor. Apparently it did though, he said it was quite intense. This will be a really good excuse to send him out for dinners. But maybe it won’t be that great if I can’t taste them.
