As I drove by, could not help but notice massive police presence at the station entrance. About a dozen tractor trailers parked in nearby lots, In the enterance was about 6 or so perfectly restored 50's taxis and the larges boom mounted lighting arrays I've ever seen. Think portable major ball league stadium lights. Pretty cool. Today 7/5/07, I can confirm filming is in full swing at the Essex Steam Train in Essex CT.

I was there twice on Tuesday the 3rd and found it to a buzz with all sorts of production personel from painters, carpenters, electricians, landscapers, etc all putting the final touches of transforming the train station into the weathered hub of "Bedford, Connecticut" rail transportation in 1957. In talking with some of the craft people filming will be on Thursday, July 5 with the excursion train operating from alternate tracks that will not interfere with the filming. Another member of the railroad staff said that they were to be using 200 extras, which, if you've ever been to this very tiny site should make for a hustling and bustling scene of a much larger setting. The carpenters were enclosing the power generators in the rail car to look like two large "crates" that will be used for power while some of the in car scenes are shot it seemed. All in all, it's not at all like down town New Haven with it being a bit more difficult to limit all access for the imaginative members of the movie "spy" game.
