In February 1995, South Orient hosted a special "movie train" consisting of equipment
from the Texas State Railroad which travelled to west Texas for the filming of "Streets of
Laredo,", a sequel to "Lonesome Dove". The train consisted of Texas State's 4-6-0
# 201 and several cars, and was pulled by a South Orient locomotive to and from the filming
location. On February 20, 1995, South Orient led the train into Mertzon, Texas, on its
return trip to the Texas State Railroad in Rusk.
