[QUOTE=Scarlett67] 4. My first thought was The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, but I figured there had to be a better answer. Anybody else even heard of this one? [/QUOTE] I love that movie and it was my first thought as well. But I was having an internal debate with myself over whether subway cars counted as a “train” so I went with Strangers on a Train instead. ---

Heh, I didn’t think of Amtrak either. I grew up near a freight line that Norfolk Southern ran on. ---

Ahhh! How did I not think of _Murder on the Orient Express_? And question #10 was a real toughie. I ended up pulling one out of my past, because I know there are a lot of city-dwellers and nice-weather-dwellers on the board and I can’t figure out how they’d answer. Around here, a “generic car” would either be a Ford truck or a Subaru wagon. ---

1. Boeing 747 2. Chuck Yaeger 3. Air France 4. Planes, Trains & Automobiles 5. France 6. Amtrak 7. Lamborghini 8. Indy 500 9. Motorcycle 10. Honda Civic My thought processes or attempts at humor. 1. Name the make and model of a popular commercial airliner. Boeing 747 is the first that comes to mind; there are a lot of others. 2. Name a famous aircraft pilot. Chuck Yaeger far and away; others: Wright Bros, Howard Hughes but Yaeger from the _The Right Stuff_ would seem to be the definitive answer 3. Name a current European-based airline. Picking Air France since the country’s name is in the title 4. Name a film (theatrical or for TV) where trains are a major plot element. Again a bunch; but since _PT & A_ is the title of the thread I will go with that. 5. Name a country, other than the USA, where passenger trains are a popular mode of transportation. Hmm- didn’t realize train travel was popular in US 6. Name a North American railroad of the past or present. There are a bunch of old RRs active or defunct: Union Pacific, Penn Central, Illinois Central, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe—but gotta go with the Amtrak 7. Name an automobile maker known mainly for fast, expensive sports cars. Coin flip between Lamborghini & Ferrari 8. Name a famous automobile race. Indy 500 is the granddaddy of them all [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-daily-feud-planes-trains-and-automobiles-by-el_kabong-closed/458592.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-daily-feud-planes-trains-and-automobiles-by-el_kabong-closed/458592.md?page=3)
