This big screen adaptation of the 60s TV series, starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline was a bit of a dud but does feature some fantastic train goodness.

Early in the film we are introduced to Artemus Gordon's personal train "The Wanderer" as it flies through the woods. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum graciously lent the production their prized 4-4-0 from 1856, the "William Mason" #25, which is the oldest operating locomotive in the U.S. (and no stranger to film production). It was brought back to operating condition just for its appearance in this film and two special custom coaches were built by the crew to pull behind it. Today the William Mason is back safely in the museum on display. 

Scenes inside the coaches were done on stage at Warner Brothers Studios Burbank. 

Later we see Dr. Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) testing out his amphibious steam-powered tank which also doubles as a locomotive. This was obviously a prop vehicle built for the film. 

Another shot of The Wanderer rumbling by at night.

We later catch some great shots of The Wanderer steaming full-speed ahead through a mountain tunnel, piloted by Coleman (Emmett Walsh). For this sequence, the locomotive and prop cars were shipped to the abandoned Camas Prairie Railroad near Grangeville, Idaho. This scenic mountain line features numerous tunnels and trestles and was also featured heavily in Breakheart Pass with Charles Bronson. 

It is here where Loveless and his train tank catch up to them and a cartoony chase sequence plays out. 

Later, we catch another brief glimpse of the Mason behind the actors as the giant CGI steam-powered spider is revealed. 

Just prior to the big final showdown with the spider, there is a scene recreating the Golden Spike Ceremony. For this, two Virginia & Truckee locomotives were used: #11 "Reno" (on loan from Old Tucson) playing the part of UP #119 and #21 "J.W. Bowker" (from the CA State RR Museum) as CP's Jupiter. The Strasburg Railroad in PA lent out period cars to augment the trains and the scene was filmed outside Santa Fe, NM. 

As Gordon's flying bicycle takes flight, we catch another great view of The Wanderer, likely shot in New Mexico with Monument Valley superimposed with CGI. 

After Loveless is defeated and Gordon and West make off with the spider, we see the Wanderer heading off one last time. In a recent update, the custom cars from the film have since been relocated to the Volo Museum in Illinois.
