The Illinois Railway Museum annually holds a "Civil War Day" where reenactors stage a battle on the museum grounds, making sure to involve trains in some way. Confederate reinforcements streaming off their troop train (powered, of course, by a Burlington Northern "executive train" E9A) begin to form up before going into "battle."
