Mistaken Identity

[PolyesterMafia]

I just saw the movie "Identity Theft". It's quite hilarious, if you like raunchy fat-humor. As an asides though, there was a scene where the two protagonists, while passing through a small Georgia town, end up at a bus station. This bus station is located next to a railroad main line. I am assuming that this open air "bus station" was actually filmed on located at Folkston. Also, during the scenes here, a train with two blue locomotives that had yellow on the ends passed by. Didn't recognize the rail line though, as the large letters on the side were a little blurry, and seemed to read "CST".

Stupid copyright lawyers.

Could it be CSX?

Or CSXT.

I don't think there are any engines that have CSXT painted on the side. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Give that man a Kadee coupler for his troubles! Yes, it was CSX. My post was alluding to the pathetic attempt by the movie producers to evade having CSX's name in film so they wouldn't pay royalties. But then again, it was something only a railfan would catch, as my wife didn't even notice the Fox Po.

Upon further research, the location of that scene is not Folkston, but an old depot in Rockdale, Ga. It looked pretty nice in the movie, so I thought it would be Folkston. The movie also filmed in Hampton, Ga, which is located next to NS rails.

Here's a behind the scenes shot from the Rockdale newspaper.
