Mr Masivdudd ,Of course it’s gonna be rigged the train used was a mock-up since the locomotive being used for the main part of the film was being borrowed from the company so they couldn’t crash the real thing
The work of miniatures (a rare art now), for sure. One thing about CGI is that there is not much pressure to get the crash done in one take. Imagine having to set all that up again.
Folks, this is the freaking 1970s! A lot of modern CGI can't touch this. And the overhead shot of the locomotive shattering the lights was Picasso-esque. Chef's kiss to an epic sequence.
This is the only runaway train movie I know where they actually go through with what I think most people who watch these kinds of films actually wanted to see at the end!!! Fantastically done. 💯
Oh Shit And If I were you, call in the twin engines, Donald and Douglas to pull that whole train out while Harvey brings in Rocky and the whole breakdown train.
I remember seeing this as a kid, back when my parents loved to travel by rail (they had a later renaissance with rail later in life). While it was kind of scary, it also made it not so bad, either, as the whole crash was a bit whimsical in a way. :) Always loved that the locomotive looks like it is smiling throughout the entire crash scene.
Topham Hatt: After this gets pulled out of the station, this Silver Streak will must go to the works to have its front mended. It will take a very long time. Meanwhile, Boco and a diesel railcar will do the work. Me: I like Boco, but you’re not suggesting what I think you’re suggesting... Topham Hatt: I’m afraid we have no choice. Remember, diesels always stay in their sheds until they are wanted, and never gallivant off to breakfast at Chicago train stations. Me: Tell Patrick McGoohan that. And btw, that lump of shit was working for the dark side on one of their god awful animated movies. A rip off of that ‘Treasure Island’ story by R. Louis Stevenson. Teenager girl: You mean... Me: That douchebag had Botox on him before his death. Couldn’t move his face for an hour.
“Blame Patrick McGoohan for doing this to me. I don’t know what happened to him, but Gene told me he had to quit while he was a-head of himself”. “After you are pulled out, you are immediately going to the works to have you mended. It’ll take a long time to get you repaired. Meanwhile, two Scottish twin engines will do your work”.
@GTW Michigan He may have been the porter, but he sure acted like a conductor. Same as Under Siege 2 - there's a porter on the Grand Continental who ends up acting like a conductor with Steven Seagal.
As a Torontonian, there is nothing more iconic than a locomotive parked in the Grand Hall of Union Station (Toronto standing in for both cities in the movie). I remember my glee in watching the crash in the theatre. Always fun watching local landmarks get destroyed on the big screen.
@@O-DogKubrick Two weeks is the minimum recommended dosage. Best taken In July-August. (or September for TIFF). Wasn't born here (few were) but a decent city to have landed in by chance 50 years ago. Jobs that offer a pension HIGHLY recommended, coz retiring in one the most affluent North American cities is gonna cost ya. (Montréal is a better choice in that regard, but its catching up.) Was nicer when it was easier to exit with a short drive. It just goes on forever now...the food belt disappering to sub-division developer profits buying land and politicians. A TRUE North American city.
Why are likes and dislikes disabled? This scene is so horribly epic! I love the slow motion that went on while the train was plowing through the station.
Something like this really happened, though not as devastating. On Jan 12, 1953, a runaway train smashed into Washington, DC's Union Station as the city was getting ready for the Eisenhower inauguration. The engineer had alerted the station that the brakes had failed and the train was out of control. The train came to a stop about 15 feet from the waiting room when the concrete floor collapsed beneath it. Miraculously, no one was killed or seriously hurt. If that floor hadn't collapsed, the scenario in this movie scene could have happened for real. My dad, a native Washingtonian and living there at the time, talked about it for years. There are several videos on TH-cam showing the horrendous wreckage.
Best thing being no one was seriously hurt and because the station was going to be busy for the presidential inauguration in the next 72 hours they put a false floor over the loco and only removed it some time later.

“Luckily no one was hurt, but Sir Topham Hatt was most annoyed.” Sir Topham Hatt: “You miserable F7! You’ve damaged the station and almost landed the passengers in the hospital!” The F7: “Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir.”
The presidential runaway crash to which I think this one is based off the real life one not only did a steam train did it once but a real life diesel train on the day before President's Day and that train fell through the floor to the basement where the workers are out to get coffee
Well, the Hugo accident happened in real life in 1895. After the driver applied the brakes too late, the train crashed through the wall and fell from the first floor
Wow so that’s how Thomas Comes To Breakfast was based off, except Thomas didn’t go crash through the station master’s house for breakfast.

Well if they were able to repair a GG1 after it fell through the floor of a station terminal then they can absolutely repair this locomotive that didn't even really recieve any major damage. I always wondered where the locomotive's front bogey was in this scene. Did it detatch when the train hit the platform?
As with the human stars, the locomotives had stunt doubles. And mock-ups for the final scene. By the way, did you know the crash scenes were filmed in not one but two aircraft hangers? True.
I can’t believe that this was the best scene from our favorite movie! And the fact that I wrote the review for this made me hilarious!

@@O-DogKubrick My pleasure 😇 it reminded me on Thomas & Friends as well from three crossover reference episodes: Thomas Comes To Breakfast, A Close Shave, A Better View For Gordon, Old Iron
According to stunt coordinator Mickey Gilbert that was a truck dressed up to look like a train. The stunt driver could not see through the front but the left side of the 'train' was empty and upon reaching a certain point the stuntman applied the brakes.
Loved that car and the color combo. The rubber end caps con the bumpers for 77 model year help integrate the mumpers better than the 75 76 models....74 was the best looking year
@Pia Yup when GG1 4876 became a runaway after a design flaw in the New Haven coaches caused an angle cock valve to close cutting off most of the air supply for the brakes.
This happened to be the best scene 🎬 from the movie 🍿! How there was no driver involved to get into the diesel car to stop the train in time before it crashed through the station at 0:35 before finally stopped at 1:30! This also had a crossover with Thomas & Friends episode where James the Red Engine was moving without a driver, caused Edward the Blue Engine to place a rope on James’ buffer in order to slow him down before finally stopping at the station! Glad my brother wrote the review about this movie on IMDb! Even though it’s all acting and it wasn’t real, as it’s a work of fiction, it would be way horrifying if this happened IRL! I give this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five stars for the best scene ever from Silver Streak! ^^
WHOA 🤯 THAT WAS SO GOOD AND AWESOME 😎 THAT DIESEL TRAIN CAR CRASHED THROUGH THE STATION BEFORE FINALLY STOPPED! MY FAVORITE 🤩 CLIP OF THIS MOVIE!!! 0:35 to 1:35! 👏🏻
Lover how Colin Higgins wrote this, Arthur Hiller directed, David M. Walsh recorded, and David Bretherton edited! ingenious mixture of live-action, models and undercranking. I forget what scale was used for the train engine bursting through the station was though.
@@BlacKnightRising If I were a special effects foreman, here is what my educated guess would be. Construct the station first, add the extras, and everything else including the small shops and restaurants in the station. Then the real train approaches and the extras will be instructed on how to avoid the train as it crashes into the station as I say "And action!" to the extras. Pulling wire at the back of the end of the train will be used to slow down the train as it crashes. The train itself would be the real thing - with a locomotive with the "AM Road" signage (I would be prohibited from using Amtrak as the signage), and 7 or 8 passenger train cars of roughly Pullman class attached to the locomotive. The stuntman would be the only one on the train to disengage the braking system and cut the braking cords so that the train cannot stop, and he would get out and dive onto a safety mat, and the man, just before he gets off the train, would set the train at a speed of 110 mph on cruise control before ditching the train. The foreman would also plan the distance and speed needed to crash - so probably a 5 mile lead or buffer for the train to reach maximum speed using an empty rail yard that leads to the station targeted for the crash, as well as any track or signal switches needed to target the train towards the station.
The walls targeted for the crash at the station would not be reinforced, but collapsable plaster walls - designed so when the walls are destroyed as the train impacts, the destroyed walls and its resultant debris will slow down the train's speed at the moment of "crash", but not stop it immediately.
And next thing you know.... “Attention all passengers. Due to the unfortunate crash of the Silver Streak, your ride to LA will be going to the works to have it all mended. Next train will be tomorrow at noon. Sorry for the inconvenience”.

@@GTAMadMan144 No it did not!!!!! Well, the train brakes stopped working, and one of the stop brakes yanked off, and the emergency brake on the train broke, and it suddenly turned into a runaway train. That's why it crashed into the station. Remember! This FL9 Diesel locomotive's damage looks like a face.
Narrator: and with a crash and a bang, the diesels flew through the station, landing in the lobby. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the diesels felt sorry for themselves.

I like the sound of that. After all, Silver Streak came out in theatres on December 8th, 1976. Thomas Comes to Breakfast was released on tv on March 26th, 1989 with the voice of Ringo Starr.
how this would be in sodor version 0:01 then there was trouble. As when the driver aplied the brakes to slow down, Silver Streak's wheels started to slip in the rails. There was oil on the tracks "Oh no!" cried Silver "I'm about to crash to the mall!" 0:08 inside of the mall everyone was panicking about the train going to crash into the mall 0:12 Silver Streaks's driver aplied the emergency braskes but it didn't work and it was jammed "Oh snap!" cried the driver. Silver streak was getting close to the platform track 5 "HELP, WHAT CAN I DO!?" Cried Silver! 0:17 the guard was waving at the people to know where the exit was and all the people ran into the exit as fastest they could 0:21 "OHHHHHHHHHHHH" cried Silver Streak, he's driver jumped of the cab 0:25 all the people started to scream in fear! 0:28 he came close and close to the buffers "HORRORS" he cried 0:32 all the people are running, screaming and looking for the exit 0:35 Silver Streak shut he's eyes in fear of horror crahing into the mall 0:39 then everything happend at ones 1:35 "we did it!" cried the pasanger "we did it!" then the pasangers hop of the coaches 1:45 "hello Chicago hello!" cried the gentleman "gotta drink for that!" so he drink the bottle of beer "¡Yeah!" 1:53 luckilly no one was hurt the crash was so catastrophical that made Sir topham hat so furious "SILVER STREAK!" cried the controller "WHAT IS THIS MESS!?" "it wasn't my fault sir" cried silver "it was my driver" this made the controller angrier so he spoke up wih him Soon Silver Streak's driver was fired and arrested for causing a horrible incident
No, it wasn't. The locomotive was a full-sized mock-up shell of tube roll bars and steel skin. It was mounted on a 1927 Mac flatbed truck owned by 20th Century Fox and driven at speed like a fast parade float through the sets. The entrance to the inner concourse's archway had explosive or air charges in the walls to make the shattering look more spectacular. The hard walls and pillars were made of ultra-light plaster and the mirror was REAL glass (I cut my finger on it). It was shot across two hangars at Burbank Airport dressed to look like the archway and foreground area. The rest of Toronto Union Station was matted-in at Van der Veer Photo Effects in Burbank. The shot had at least 7 cameras rolling across two separate takes (first set with locomotive clean, second set with locomotive distressed and smiling). The scene cost $500,000 of a $6 million budget.

The fact that this actually happened in real life is crazy
(The Federal Express Train Wreck)
Damm... those are some impressive practical FX right there. Very well done. Love the exploding wall 1:01... real old school work.
No
. This was film real life station.
@@tylerscott8208 ?
@Da_FNAF_Gamer thats why he said "Practical fx" it isnt cgi it is an actual effect composited into the movie
Kool-Aid man when he sees a wall
According to stunt coordinator Mickey Gilbert that was a truck dressed up to look like a train. The stunt driver could not see through the front but the left side of the 'train' was empty and upon reaching a certain point the stuntman applied the brakes.
I'd love to have that immaculate X-1-9 car.
Tengo 50 años y Esa pelicula la vi cuando era muy chico ! Muy buena ! Gracias !
Mi placer. Lo bueno de esto es que no tiene CGI.
2:03 look how everyone gathers round to see the wreckage of the train after it crashed into a buffer stop and into the concourse
Good thing the Fiat X1/9 survived
Loved that car and the color combo. The rubber end caps con the bumpers for 77 model year help integrate the mumpers better than the 75 76 models....74 was the best looking year
How much money does Grover payed for the car? I still watched this video.
1:30 that one yellow car is scared too
When I visit Chicago one day I'm quoting that 1:45
Found ya again
@Pia Yup when GG1 4876 became a runaway after a design flaw in the New Haven coaches caused an angle cock valve to close cutting off most of the air supply for the brakes.
Poor Toronto Union Station 😅 Good old CP RAIL #4070.. The "Star" of the scene
THAT WAS SO AWESOME AT 0:35 LIKE PEOPLE ARE GOING “UH OH RUNAWAY TRAIN ABOUT TO CRASH THROUGH THE STATION! INCOMING!”
A very similar accident occurred in Australia with the same class of locomotive
They don’t have FP units in Australia
Narrator: luckily no one was hurt
Only in the 70s!!! 😂😂 Great movie!!
This happened to be the best scene 🎬 from the movie 🍿! How there was no driver involved to get into the diesel car to stop the train in time before it crashed through the station at 0:35 before finally stopped at 1:30! This also had a crossover with Thomas & Friends episode where James the Red Engine was moving without a driver, caused Edward the Blue Engine to place a rope on James’ buffer in order to slow him down before finally stopping at the station! Glad my brother wrote the review about this movie on IMDb! Even though it’s all acting and it wasn’t real, as it’s a work of fiction, it would be way horrifying if this happened IRL! I give this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ five stars for the best scene ever from Silver Streak! ^^
*" No buildings were harmed in the making of this film "*
Wish there was some kind of “making of train crash” video out there. Always wanted to know how they did this scene
Sir Topham Hatt was not pleased. "You have caused confusion and delay!" He said.
Silver Streak responded. “Tell that to Roger Devereau. I heard he had to quit while he was a-head of himself”.
1:30 not even the car wanted to get hurt
It's a FIAT X1/9. Lovely little baby Ferraris. I used to drive one.
WHOA 🤯 THAT WAS SO GOOD AND AWESOME 😎 THAT DIESEL TRAIN CAR CRASHED THROUGH THE STATION BEFORE FINALLY STOPPED! MY FAVORITE 🤩 CLIP OF THIS MOVIE!!! 0:35 to 1:35! 👏🏻
Lover how Colin Higgins wrote this, Arthur Hiller directed, David M. Walsh recorded, and David Bretherton edited! ingenious mixture of live-action, models and undercranking. I forget what scale was used for the train engine bursting through the station was though.
I'm watching that classic right now 11-26-21
That train really said it’s time to go shopping😌
Best part of this whole thing is the unusually tall guy galloping to safety after he waited for the yellow car to pass. @1:32 😆 🤣 😂
大好きな映画なので観られてよかったです！素晴らしい映像をありがとうございます！ごちそうさまでした
1:12 that had to hit someone by that pole
What?
Yes that police and lady
@@reallyboredalpaca3077 No one got hit.
*Pillar*
Damn. I made that comment 3 years ago. Time flies
This brings back memories of Pennsylvania 1953 ☠️
How did they pull that off, so real looking especially for the 70s
back when they built realistic sets, and attention to detail to make it as realistic as possible, something CGI can't come close to even today
@@BlacKnightRising If I were a special effects foreman, here is what my educated guess would be. Construct the station first, add the extras, and everything else including the small shops and restaurants in the station. Then the real train approaches and the extras will be instructed on how to avoid the train as it crashes into the station as I say "And action!" to the extras. Pulling wire at the back of the end of the train will be used to slow down the train as it crashes. The train itself would be the real thing - with a locomotive with the "AM Road" signage (I would be prohibited from using Amtrak as the signage), and 7 or 8 passenger train cars of roughly Pullman class attached to the locomotive. The stuntman would be the only one on the train to disengage the braking system and cut the braking cords so that the train cannot stop, and he would get out and dive onto a safety mat, and the man, just before he gets off the train, would set the train at a speed of 110 mph on cruise control before ditching the train. The foreman would also plan the distance and speed needed to crash - so probably a 5 mile lead or buffer for the train to reach maximum speed using an empty rail yard that leads to the station targeted for the crash, as well as any track or signal switches needed to target the train towards the station.
The walls targeted for the crash at the station would not be reinforced, but collapsable plaster walls - designed so when the walls are destroyed as the train impacts, the destroyed walls and its resultant debris will slow down the train's speed at the moment of "crash", but not stop it immediately.
@@charlessmith263 way too complicated and dangerous and expensive. Just put a mock up shell over a truck and drive it through the set.
@@Ham549You're right. I read somewhere that that was how they did it.
1:55 that smile... that fucking smile...
The train looks like it’s the CP rail.
It is, Their just CP Rail engines but painted over
@@thundersonic342 oh
TrainBoivr The Train Is CP Rail But They Put Up AMRoad Decals Just For The Movie
What happened to the trains headlights why is there a hole in it and why is the number plate and the windows broken?
0:39 train be like: WHATS UP FU**ERS
station master be like: WHY YOU CRASHING IN THE STATION?
train be like: FU** U DATS WHY
Wut was there an extra like 40 meters of track???
No idea.
"The train now arriving on platform 1, the store and main concourse is your service to L.A" 😂 this service is currently delayed by 5 minutes
And next thing you know....
“Attention all passengers. Due to the unfortunate crash of the Silver Streak, your ride to LA will be going to the works to have it all mended. Next train will be tomorrow at noon. Sorry for the inconvenience”.
@@O-DogKubrick but here's a crap rail replacement bus service instead 🤣🤣
What kind of yellow car is that? I never seen one of those before.
Not much of a car expert, so no idea.
It is an Italian Fiat from the seventies , I do not know the year or the style number .
@@Jay-vr9ir Ty.
A moment of silence for the F unit
DMRAILROAD759 Do you ever watch other train movies that can have such big crashes like this one?
O-Dog Kubrick I’ve seen unstoppable, why?
DMRAILROAD759 I did this blog post a while ago. This is in it. Tell me if you love it. osmovies.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/top-8-train-crashes-in-movies/
Press F to pay respects
2:07 "Oh, look... there is a beheaded body inside." 😄
And this is why you never drink and drive
Can we officially name this “Silver Streak comes to breakfast”
Do you want me to rename this?
Sure,but only if you are Ok with that
Silver streak: drinks beer 🍻
Silver streak: ohhhh I’m drunk so I’m just gonna crash into this station
Kamikaze Express style?
Luckily, no one was hurt!
"I may be crazy, but it looks as if it's grinning" buddy, y' ain't crazy. I saw it, too.
Luckily no one was hurt but there was inside of the station Damaged everywhere
You mean ‘There was damage inside the station everywhere’?
@@O-DogKubrick correct
I love the slow motion
RIP GENE WILDER
RIP JILL CLAYBURGH
RIP RICHARD PRYOR
RIP AMT 1302 the second engine in the train got scrapped recently 4070 now amt 1300 is abandonned in beauce
Also RIP Ned Beatty
1:54 bro after that horrific crash, the train looks like it was smiling tho
Sir Topham Hatt: I knew you wanted a panoramic view but this is NOT the way to achieve it!
@@SeanMcReynolds025 Silver Streak: Tell that to Patrick McGoohan who hijacked me! He started it. And you should’ve seen as an ugly alien in “Treasure Planet”!
If you pause quickly at 0:39, you can see it is only one train.
You mean train car and I also see that there is only one
Two trains crashing at the same time and location would be really bad luck...
Chicago and north western
If you look in the backround at the beginning of the clip, you can see a very rare Amtrak UAC turbo train.
Actually, that's a CN turbo (this scene was filmed in Toronto).
This is basically what happened in that one disaster when a steam locomotive crashes through a station window
The Montparnasse derailment?
Old Canadian Pacific F unit?
FP7A btw, I think it was a preserved one
1:55 train is smiling
😌
Lol 🤣😆
Maybe It's Impressed On What It Did
@@GTAMadMan144 No it did not!!!!! Well, the train brakes stopped working, and one of the stop brakes yanked off, and the emergency brake on the train broke, and it suddenly turned into a runaway train. That's why it crashed into the station. Remember! This FL9 Diesel locomotive's damage looks like a face.
@@jamesleopard8518 I thought after Patrick McGoohan got killed by the cp rail train I thought that’s how the silver streak became a runaway
even the car was like hell no im getting out of here
Narrator: and with a crash and a bang, the diesels flew through the station, landing in the lobby. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the diesels felt sorry for themselves.
Cardboard Sliver Narrator: Luckily for our heroes, they finally did.
1:45 Hello Chicago, hello!! Gotta drink to that!! Yeah!!
Just a random question.
Was this the deadliest crash you seen in films?
@@Justaclass800 I did a this blog post of the top 8 train crashes I’ve seen in movies. Numero uno is this from Silver Streak.
osmovies.wordpress.com/2019/08/01/top-8-train-crashes-in-movies/
This is the new Generation of thomas comes to breakfast.
I like the sound of that. After all, Silver Streak came out in theatres on December 8th, 1976. Thomas Comes to Breakfast was released on tv on March 26th, 1989 with the voice of Ringo Starr.

how this would be in sodor version
0:01 then there was trouble. As when the driver aplied the brakes to slow down, Silver Streak's wheels started to slip in the rails. There was oil on the tracks
"Oh no!" cried Silver "I'm about to crash to the mall!"
0:08 inside of the mall everyone was panicking about the train going to crash into the mall
0:12 Silver Streaks's driver aplied the emergency braskes but it didn't work and it was jammed "Oh snap!" cried the driver. Silver streak was getting close to the platform track 5
"HELP, WHAT CAN I DO!?" Cried Silver!
0:17 the guard was waving at the people to know where the exit was and all the people ran into the exit as fastest they could
0:21 "OHHHHHHHHHHHH" cried Silver Streak, he's driver jumped of the cab
0:25 all the people started to scream in fear!
0:28 he came close and close to the buffers "HORRORS" he cried
0:32 all the people are running, screaming and looking for the exit
0:35 Silver Streak shut he's eyes in fear of horror crahing into the mall
0:39 then everything happend at ones
1:35 "we did it!" cried the pasanger "we did it!" then the pasangers hop of the coaches
1:45 "hello Chicago hello!" cried the gentleman "gotta drink for that!" so he drink the bottle of beer "¡Yeah!"
1:53 luckilly no one was hurt the crash was so catastrophical that made Sir topham hat so furious
"SILVER STREAK!" cried the controller "WHAT IS THIS MESS!?"
"it wasn't my fault sir" cried silver "it was my driver" this made the controller angrier so he spoke up wih him
Soon Silver Streak's driver was fired and arrested for causing a horrible incident
Apart from Blazing Saddles and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, this was Gene Wilder's best movie.
Don't forget lady in red 😘
Add Young Frankenstein and the list is good 😊
Look how everyone is making a run for it when the security guard is trying to get them out of the station because of the runaway train
And the best part is, this was a real crash, almost around 2.3 million in repairs
Dollars? That much money to repair after this?
No, it wasn't.
The locomotive was a full-sized mock-up shell of tube roll bars and steel skin. It was mounted on a 1927 Mac flatbed truck owned by 20th Century Fox and driven at speed like a fast parade float through the sets. The entrance to the inner concourse's archway had explosive or air charges in the walls to make the shattering look more spectacular. The hard walls and pillars were made of ultra-light plaster and the mirror was REAL glass (I cut my finger on it).
It was shot across two hangars at Burbank Airport dressed to look like the archway and foreground area. The rest of Toronto Union Station was matted-in at Van der Veer Photo Effects in Burbank.
The shot had at least 7 cameras rolling across two separate takes (first set with locomotive clean, second set with locomotive distressed and smiling). The scene cost $500,000 of a $6 million budget.
