Ha, he's my favorite actor- anyways, I dig the story, owned the original book, but still haven't watched the movie even though I own it...

Although, I have taken part in the restoration of the Pere Marquette 1225 Berkshire locomotive that currently resides about fifteen miles from me. here is a picture of my wife and I with it during boiler re-certification: (This locomotive was used by Spielberg's team to record the sounds for the movie)


(I also have a Lionel model of the 1225)
