What is it with Hollywood and railroad roadnames?
I'm watching "The Fugitive"--again--on TV (Ion), and we're just past the celebrated train-wreck scene. So why is it that the locos here were decorated with the name of a completely nonexistent road, "Illinois Southwestern"? Were the producers somehow afraid of, what, being sued by a real road if they used their name?
Sheesh. This is as bad as that totally STUPID convention of using "555-xxxx" for telephone #s in movies ...
