Stories that take place on a Train

I know this is an odd ask, but I love trains and have recently had such a story fall far short of my (very minor) hopes.
(I'd like to add that I would also be happy with recommendations of movies as well.)
Honestly, bonus points if it's romance (that seems to be what I'm in the mood for, right now).
Okay, so... Trains!

Is suspense ok? I recommend Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (there is also a movie). There is the The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins which I didn't read yet.
I recently read One last stop by Casey McQuiston, a LGBT romance that takes place on a train.
Breakheart Pass by Alistair MacLean takes place on a train and has a bit of romance in it.
Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier is also a good book.

I actually watched the adaptation of
The Girl on the Train and enjoyed it!
I don't usually lean toward suspense when reading (which is ironic, considering it's one of my favorite genres to watch). I'm definitely willing to give them a try, though.
One Last Stop sounds promising.
I will look into these. Thank you!

Agatha Christie's books are great (she is known as the Queen of Crime), and most of her books have a bit of romance in them despite being murder mystery books). Enjoy!

Jennifer E. Smith - Field Notes on Love. I read it a year ago and I really liked it. In addition, it will be adapted into a movie starring Jordan Fisher and Dove Cameron. It's a romance, so give it a try.

I only know of 'The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins'. I have read it and I liked it.
