TVRM in The Movies

TVRM has been a prime movie spot since the early 1970s. Several of the rail cars that TVRM owns have been used in movies, i.e. the collection holds the Pullman sleeping car "Clover Colony" that was used in the Marilyn Monroe movie Some Like it Hot, which was filmed in 1959, two years before TVRM started.

A partial list of movies shot with TVRM equipment follows:

• Fool's Parade (1971) (Southern 4501 as B&O 4501)
