Night Train To Lisbon (2013) starring Jeremy Irons. Despite the title, very little of this film (less than a minute?) is set on a train. He makes several trips, but no, the movie is not set entirely on a train or anything.

Mil-jeong (2016) (a.k.a. The Age Of Shadows) directed and co-written by Jee-woon Kim is a saga of Korean resistance to Japanese occupation prior to WWII. It includes a 30-minute sequence set on a China to Korea express where the Resistance cadre attempt to evade Japanese police, so there is much scuttling between First, Second and Third Class cars, the First being spacious and ornate, while the Third are packed, with folks cooking meals on the gangway floor.

Rheingold (1978) West Germany directed by Niklaus Schilling The film title is taken from a named train that operated between Holland, and Geneva, Switzerland , a distance of 1,067 kilometres it ceased operation in 1987 The Rheingold was a first-class-only Trans Europ Express which ran along the Rhine River via Arnhem, Netherlands, and Cologne, Germany, using special luxury coaches... The dull movie is set aboard the train, the acting is flat the melodrama a real dud, of interest to train lovers only. Two out of ten given for the the only redeeming features the travelling train and the scenic countryside glimpsed passing by...

I loved Neil Young's score to the film "Deadman" w/Johnny Depp. Here, he emulates a steam locomotive early in the film with his guitar!!!

london777 - when I watched this film, I ran out and was able to secure a sound track CD from Deadman. I have never seen it posted anywhere. It is Neil Young at his impressionist best!!!

SINCE YOU WENT AWAY -- Jennifer Jones chasing after the train taking boyfriend Robert Walker (her outgoing hubby in real life) away from her and to his wartime death.
Two films about passengers passing through Germany:
THE MORTAL STORM -- Margaret Sullavan doesn't make it out
JULIA -- Jane Fonda and her hat full of money makes it out

Lots of train scenes, interiors and exteriors, in Mechanical Suite Механическая сюита (2001) dir: Dmitriy Meskhiev. The two principal characters, a traditional "odd couple", are sent from Moscow to a town in the boondocks to recover the body of a colleague who has died there from a heart attack. Being Russian, they get blind drunk in the first reel, and a series of mishaps and confusions ensue, dragging in several local characters, including the fiscal, a librarian, and a train-driver. Towards the end two mafia hoods, who happen to be identical twins (a nod to the Kray Twins?), force a resolution to the story. The plot entails much to-and-froing on trains. At one point a body is thrown out of the compartment window and struck by another train. I love black comedies, and they do not get much blacker than this. The plot has the ingenuity of a Coen Brothers movie, but the tone is completely different, an elegaic homage to the "Russian Soul" (though based on a Polish story). The supporting characters are a bunch of provincial losers, but their absurdities are treated compassionately. I have never seen a film like it, and I urge you to catch it on YouTube while still available. (Just don't ask me what the title means. I haven't a clue). Our heroes and their deceased colleague hurry to catch a train back to Moscow. That did not work out too well!
