Re: The 2Oth Century Limited
* At GCT - Cary Grant tries to get a Century bedroom at AIR ticket window #11, upper level....correct window/location circa mid-1950's to do so ?
* Bedroom scenes - understand it was a studio mock-up. Was it copied at all accurately ?
* Diner scenes - appears to have been filmed 'live' on-board. Can anyone confirm just by watching the film ?
* Parlor car(?) scenes - was this a mock-up coach interior or filmed on-board a Century car ?
Why didn't the conductors check the restroom for a potential unaccounted for passenger ? And what little pads/books are they tabulating in that scene ?
* The unscheduled stop - looks like some small station just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge on the Hudson....phoney locale or real ?
* The E-units pictured - upon arrival in Chicago....E8's or E7's ?
* TOA in Chicago - mentioned passively AIR as 9:10 A.M. local time....accurate on-time for the Century ?
thanks in advance !
