      The Taking of Pelham 123 (both versions, older one is better imo)
      Creep
      Midnight Meat Train
      Speed (a short sequence)

        A good selection so far. Add "The Narrow Margin" to the list. Both versions are watchable, the original 1950's version (in B&W) and the 1980's version starring Gene Hackman which I believe was just called "Narrow Margin".
        There's also a couple of James Bond movies involving exciting train sequences:-
        "From Russia With Love"
        "Live & Let Die".

          "and the 1980's version starring Gene Hackman which I believe was just called "Narrow Margin"."
          That actually came out in '90.

                  I recommend 'The Lady Vanishes' by Hitchcock and a rarely broadcast film 'Flame Over India' starring Lauren Bacall. Both films are fun to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

                      I've not yet seen this movie (Transsiberian) but I HAVE seen this:
                      Night Train (2009):
                      http://www.imdb.com/board/11020055/
                      Gave Night Train a solid "7". I hope this one is as good as that one, definitely an atmospheric thriller that stayed with me.
                      Cheers,

                        You may want to watch 'Switchback' with Jared Lehto and Danny Glover. It's a bit hokey in spots (as Transsiberian is); but has some nice moments. Unfortunately, the end is a bit predictable (again as some elements in TS is).
                        The classic '39 Steps' has some nice train scenes as well. It's a great thriller; but not strictly a 'train thriller.'
                        Try 'The Palm Beach Story' too. It's not a thriller; but it's a fun 'train' movie.

                                "Night Train" starring Steve Zahn, Danny Glover and Leelee sebioski. Although it is low budget thriller and nowhere near as good as "Transiberian".

                                  It is fun and games until someone gets caught. Then it's rape.

                                      If you want to add a little WWII twist to your movie watching experience I highly recommend:
                                      The Train (1964) with Burt Lancaster
