Make sure your organization is specifically named as additional insured, and is fully indemnified by the insurance company.
The insurance company may modify that by adding words like"...as required by contract". How thoroughly is your contract with the movie company written?

The B&O Museum collection was established in the 1890's, long before the road opened the Museum itself. Since they had early and mid-19th Century equipment, they rented the cars and engines to movie companies.

Larry Sagle of B&O was the de facto curator of the collection and accompanied the equipment to the filming sites. In his book (with Alan Staufer, B&O Power) he said he had found he had to get a Screen Actors Guild card to be with the equipment while they were filming (he could end up on screen). We're talking 1930's to 1950's, so there were plenty of steam-qualified enginemen, but none who could safely operate an 1837 Norris engine with gab valve motion and no air brakes. No I-ETMS either.

As far as I know, the equipment was not damaged (although maybe something had been and this is why Sagle got the SAG Card) and is now safely in the B&O Museum in Baltimore.
