Can anyone here provide the train type useed in the James Stewart movie "Night Passage"? It was one with Audie Murphy and the songs "Follow the River" and "You Can't Get Far Without a Railroad"
Thanks

Emperor train was a Mikado, so don't think it was that.
Hey, check this out. Almost everything you wanted to know about trains in the movies. I say almost, because the two trains talked about in "Night Passage" don't really say that was the starring train:
http://www.toytrains.info/trainmovies.asp
"Features the D&RG railroad, narrow gauge, between Durango and Silverton. Director James Nelson filmed around Silverton in September and October, 1956. He portrayed the beauty of Fall in the high country so effectively that audiences can almost feel a chill in the air. In one memorable scene, James Stewart rides down Blair Street in Silverton while K-28 2-8-2 No. 476 (with a fake diamond stack) passes in the background. In another, No. 476 smashes through a wooden water tank that outlaws had pushed in front of a train (03/20/2005)"
So, go to the Durango and Silverton Scenic Train site and look at their stock. See if any are the same as in the movie.
