[edit]

I don't accept screencaps, no matter how many, as reliable sources (as a note I have not seen the movie in question, but that's beside the point). Leaving aside whether this information is relevant (I think it might be given that the train was short-lived and media depictions would be rare), we need a reliable source discussing this otherwise it borders on original research. Was it shot aboard the Twilight Shoreliner? Partially? Was the equipment borrowed and the scene shot somewhere else? Are those interiors aboard the Twilight Shoreliner, a set, or some other piece of equipment? These screencaps don't answer any of these questions.

I hear you. I searched for official discussions about this train and its role in the movie, but couldn't find anything beyond a few posts on a message board. I'd hazard a guess that Me, Myself, and Irene, is probably an under-researched topic in the wide world of cinematographic literature, and so an ironclad source for this of the type you seem to prefer would be a pretty tall order.

This seems like the sort of thing that would have been mentioned in Amtrak Ink, but Amtrak's online archives don't go back that far. I've found an online archive of 2001-2006 issues but it probably would have been mentioned in 2000 when the film was released. I'll start digging.

I've also pinged the editors at the Amtrak History site suggesting an article on Amtrak's cooperation with film productions over the years (which could also clear up certain questions with Disaster on the Coastliner and Midnight Run). Mackensen (talk) 13:01, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What became of the Federal?

[edit]

Has the Federal been replaced by Northeast Regional trains no. 66 & 67? If so, when did the change occur? 69.42.17.116 (talk) 06:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; I've added those dates. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:24, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the link to the Federal wiki page from the infobox because that would just redirect you back to this page, but I can't seem to make it italicized. Putting quotation marks around it isn't working for some odd reason. Can someone try to help me fix that? Thanks! Daybeers (talk) 22:31, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Daybeers: I've fixed it - you have to use two single quotation marks '' rather than the double quotation mark ". There's some odd technical reasons behind that, if you're curious. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:49, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Pi.1415926535: Ah, I see. Thanks! Daybeers (talk) 23:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
