Disney Productions hired the SP 4449 for a movie role as the locomotive of a train that gets hijacked by a couple of robbers. To avoid some jail time, they set 4449 in full throttle for the Mexico border, which to their surprise they run off the end-of-track barrier.

Special thanks to Chris McLarney and Pat Tracy for supplying these awesome photos!
