Northwest Railway Museum's Executive Director, Richard Anderson, begins his presentation about working with the film crew to bring Train Dreams to life. In the foreground is the first few rows of the audience, in the background, the movie screen displays a poster for the movie with Joel Edgerton as the character Robert Grainier, walking with his head turned and a wood axe resting on his shoulder. Executive Director Richard Anderson looks up at the movie screen, displaying a still from the scene used in the trailer. It's the iconic shot the film crew got of steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 crossing Bridge 35 at night, the locomotive and coaches enveloped in billowing clouds of steam, lit up by the locomotive's headlight and the coach's interior lights. The camera is zoomed out and more rows of the audience are visible in the foreground.

Screenshot from the Train Dreams trailer. Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 steams over Bridge 35 in the dark, silhouetted by her own headlight. The clouds of steam billow around coach 213 directly behind her, lit up by the interior lighting of the coach itself.

The camera is focused on the Museum logo on the building, while 924 is slightly silhouetted in the strong lighting in the foreground.

Her steam cloud obscures the top of the trestle bridge, but the sides of the bridge frame the locomotive.

Did you know NP 924 ran for a time on the railway lines formerly operated on the Seattle Waterfront? Railway equipment was sometimes too heavy for the piers, which in part led to later relocation of the railway lines.

Historic photo of steam locomotive Northern Pacific #924, exact date unknown. Photo taken at the Seattle Waterfront. The wooden pier gave out beneath the locomotive, sending her nose into the Puget Sound. The smokestack and very front of the locomotive are out of frame. A series of ropes and pulleys are strung around the boiler and steam dome so railway workers can carefully guide the locomotive back up without causing further damage to it or the pier. The tender is nearly vertical behind the locomotive and is jammed up under the roof. The locomotive's 924 lettering can be partially seen on the side of the tender and the sand dome. Railway workers stand around on the pier, assessing the situation.
