I have no idea what the name of the movie was, but it was an old-time cowboy movie on AMC. In one scene there was a caboose and a stack of railroads ties on the track with cowboys behind it, using it as a barracade. They were shooting at a bunch of bad guys (obviously) down the track.
In the next scene two steam trains were bearing down on each other at about 50 MPH and then there was a massive collision as they hit head on. It was very spectacular and in the background was Green Pond Mountain in Rockaway Township.
I know that the Wharton and Northern did movie shoots during their hard times to make ends meet, so I assume that was what I saw - I just wish that I had paid attention enoungh to notice the name of the movie. It starred the character that played "Lofty Craig" in the old Annie Oaklie television program back in the 50s.
I've actually seen this movie at least twice. The first time I saw it what stuck me as odd was the scene with the caboose and rr ties was in the western desert/high country. The scene with the head on collision was obviously in a completley different setting which I now know was Morris County.
If anyone has seen this or knows what I am talking about, please pipe in so that I know that I am not loosing my mind.
