== Trivia ==
* How to film from inside a train and get the scenery looking right:https://www.outsideonline.com/2118851/theres-reason-you-recognize-landscape-westworld One of the first scenes shows Teddy Flood sitting inside a train, riding toward the park; through the windows, you can see the actual landscape roll by. Director of Photography Paul Cameron put the train car set on the back of a semi flatbed, then drove the whole thing along UT-128. “We drove the practical set up and down the highway,” Cameron says. “We did it for real.”
* The Locomotive. None of the information below about the train has been verified. It's fascinating - but can't be taken as fact at the moment. Please let us know, or just add the references, if you can confirm things. Esp let us know if you can confirm it to be wrong.
::The steam locomotive is not real - it's a full-size mockup, built for the 2013 film The Lone Ranger. The design is based on a real locomotive: Illinois Central #382, built in 1898. This was the engine that engineer Casey Jones famously died on in 1900, having stayed on board during a collision to slow the train down and sacrificing himself to save the lives of the passengers. In The Lone Ranger, the locomotive was an obvious anachronism, since the film was set several decades before the real #382 was built, and locomotive designs changed considerably in that time.

::The engine was displayed at the gate of Hollywood Studios at Disney California Adventure for the movie premiere of the The Lone Ranger on June 22, 2013.
::The engine was also used in a Advil commercial. In Westworld, it retains the side tanks and headlamp from the Advil commercial, but was painted red and black for Westworld. http://thefillmoregazette.com/front-page/shooting-huge-headache

::The most recent appearance of the locomotive (albeit missing the tender) was in the TV series The Good Place, as motive power for the Trans-Eternal Railway in the afterlife. Being a magical train outside of the real world, it does not require fuel or water, although it does appear to emit steam.

::Interestingly, the red and black paint scheme on the locomotive proves that it is not a real steam engine. The smokebox is painted red. On a real steam locomotive, the outside of the smokebox gets extremely hot during operation (the high-temperature exhaust steam and smoke passes through it, and unlike the boiler, there is no heat insulation). Any paint applied to it would burn off as soon as the engine was at operating temperature. The outside of the boiler can be painted because it has heat insulation, but the smokebox cannot. Almost all real steam locomotive smokeboxes are black, grey or silver - some are bare metal, others have a silver coating that is not affected by heat. (A few also end up rust-colored.)
