70’s movies where in opening credits a guard knocks a hobo off and under the train

I remember my dad taking us to a drive in movie back in the 1970’s, maybe early 1970’s, where in the opening of the film a guard (?) on an old steam locomotive knocks a hobo hitching a ride down off the train and under it in between 2 cars. It was probably a famous film, but I don’t remember any of the actors, or really anything else about the film, only that as a child the whole opening scene was really disturbing to me.
