From classical western works like those of John Ford (Stagecoach, The Searchers) to more revisionist works like those of Sergio Leone (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West), the locomotive has long been indicative of civilization reaching the frontier. Traditionally, this is framed as a net-negative for outlaw characters of the story: civilization is arriving to bring order and balance to the wild-west. But in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, the train brings ‘civilization’ and the proponents of it bring only death, destruction, and unfathomable greed.
