Alison Eastwood’s directorial debut, “Rails & Ties,” immediately invites the comparison to her father’s “Million Dollar Baby” in that the specter of death serves as a catalyst for drama. In Ms. Eastwood’s film, Megan Stark (Marcia Gay Harden) is stricken with breast cancer. The only way her husband, Tom (Kevin Bacon), knows to cope is by immersing himself in his job as a railroad engineer rolling between Los Angeles and Seattle. When a deadly collision temporarily puts Tom out of work, tension soon mounts between the couple now that he must stay at home.
