Well, here's a link to a thread populated by people who take their railroading seriously:

RAILROAD.NET • View topic - Railroads In The Movies, Part II

My personal favorite would be the Fritz Lang noir classic Human Desire (1954); Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame and Broderick Crawford (Who could better play a "railroad bull"?) in a tale of an engineer caught in a love triangle.

The constant repeat of the same "passing scenery" (hard-core rail buffs will recognize it as the Amtrak Northeast Corridor near Trenton, NJ) is about the only technical flaw I can cite, and the camera angles and scenes of a classic locomotive of the time (an American Locomotive Co (ALCO) model "PA") are a delight.

Old School: The General with Buster Keaton

80's: Runaway Train with Voight and DeMornay

90's: Under Siege 2 with Seagal and Heigl

10's: Unstoppable with Washington and Pine

Most Current (and hands down a bad ass flick): Snowpiercer with Evans, Swinton, Hurt, and Harris

Sure, there are a lot of great ones in between, but these are my fav's.
