I hope you all see this.

Here are two locomotives that were featured in the movie "The Lone Ranger " (2013), the two locomotives were used in the golden spike ceremony before a chase between the two trains would

ensue, at the end of the chase, The Constitution stayed on the tracks, while The Jupiter went off the rails on a half destroyed bridge along with some railroad cars.

Trivia:

The Locomotives that played the engines, are actually studio built prop locomotives that can not move on their on so they need another locomotive such as Diesel or a trackmobile, to push them from behind to move.

In real life, The Jupiter engine was owned by the Central pacific railroad, not the Western pacific railroad, unlike in the film.

The design of the Constitution engine was based on Illinois central #382, a Rogers built 4-6-0 locomotive which Casey Jones driven before his death by a train collision.

The prop engines that were used to portray the locomotives in the film, now reside on the Fillmore and western railway.
