N.C. TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM "STARS" IN "LEATHERHEADS" FLICKSPENCER, N.C. When rail fans and residents of Spencer and Salisbury flock to see the George Clooney movie "Leatherheads" opening today, they might keep their eyes peeled for glimpses of the N.C. Transportation Museum. Known for evoking America's bygone romance with trains, the site was used by Universal Pictures for the film. "Leatherheads'" final scene even features megastars Clooney and Renee Zellwegger silhouetted against the museum's historic backshop and its "Be Careful" sign, as the characters ride away together on a vintage motorcycle.fromhttp://www.ncculture.com/Transportation Museumhttp://www.nctrans.org/about_us/history.phpLeatherheadshttp://www.leatherheadsmovie.com/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherheadslocomotive george clooney renee zellweger leatherheads shay trains ford North Carolina culture museum destination travel log

Aug 20, 2008 - very interesting!

Aug 20, 2008 - Yes, it's very different. You get more of the real true sense of what the railroading was like, and what it was. You can see, feel, and hear what the Southern Railroad was like. Engine #1925 was a beautiful shay. She has a lovely bark to her exhaust, and a beautiful whistle. She was also a very reliable locomotive, and could go up to 19 mph which is fast for a shay. This place is a must see, and you must ride a steam once the #4 or #1925 are back up.

Aug 20, 2008 - how's 1925 and 604 (4) doing?
ncrailfan Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - The 604 (4) still needs more money to complete it's rebuild. The 1925 needs part of the firebox replaced and new flue tubes, but work on it won't start until the 604 (4) rebuild is finished.
Strasburg1991 Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - get a new boiler for 1925.
