The one with John Voight was in your era then. It's really bl**dy annoying me that. What was it called?

You're gonna wake in the night thinking of these!

Doesn't ring a bell (or blow a whistle!). Was it really? Cassandra Crossing, eh?

Adz', just Googled and got this:

Cassandra Crossing

This exciting disaster/thriller features an all-star cast, including Richard Harris, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner, Martin Sheen, Burt Lancaster and O.J. Simpson. 1000 passengers, traveling from Geneva to Stockholm on a luxury express train, learn that there's a terrorist on board carrying a highly infectious plague virus. Further complications arise as the train approaches a weakened bridge. Filmed in Europe with gripping suspense and disaster-epic action.

So it's not the John Voight movie - but it can be added to the list!

No! It's true! (Sonic must be younger than we thought! )

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)

Mr. Conductor's supply of magic gold dust, which allows him to travel between Shining Time and Thomas's island, is critically low. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to get more. Meanwhile, Thomas is fending off attacks by the nasty diesel engines. Getting more gold dust will require help from Mr. C's slacker cousin, his new friend Lilly, and her morose grandfather, plus the secret engine he's hidden all these years and couldn't get running.
