        Somewhat previously, in teh The Man from U N C L E, our heroes

        were escorting someone by train (!) from NYC to DC.  Only problem

        was the antimacassar's on the headrests showed (backwards, 'coz

        they'ed been flipped) an SP logo, quite recognizable to the

        observant.

Speaking of "artistic license":  An old episode of "Hogan's Heroes"

where Hogan, Klink, et. al., are headed on a train to the Russian Front

for one reason or another.  The locomotive was obviously a black SP

GS-4, but the film was flipped so that the lettering was backwards--

something like "CIFICAP NREHTUOS". . .



And I think Hogan & co. blew up the 20th Century Limited at least

once. . .
