The "real" Unstoppable train moving to the Wheeling area for some final shooting after filming in central PA....running as NS 043-06 coming into E. Liverpool, OH Nov07 2009
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 Wasn't involved, but having done crew transportation for a small railroad, I know there is no such thing as a quick repair on these, and film production budgets can't afford that kind of delay.
I always loved how the AWVR locos looked, especially the red and black, same for the freight, if only we knew more about the fictional company lol, it's a true shame nobody made a heritage unit of one of the schemes, or even a private owner
the real accident was with CSX and there were no more than two locomotives, one main and the other that was connected from behind like the movie, all similar to a super 7
Here is proof that railroads still could use old power to tow manifest trains. Not only did a GP38-2 and 2 SD40-2s basically pull a manifest train but also towed 6 dead locomotives as well.
Norfolk Southern diesel bearing the Operation Lifesaver logo on its paint job acting as lead diesel followed by all the AWVR locomotives that took part in the movie and the freight cars, including the Prixton Chemicals tankers and two prop 1206s. Nice! Also, all the AWVR diesels that were borrowed from Canadian Pacific or Wheeling & Lake Erie Railways had their real life numbers over the ones they had in the movie since they were travelling on main line tracks instead of filming for the movie. Have to avoid problems with the Federal Railroad Administration for using movie locomotives on main line tracks without authority.
@@Elliottblancher Not sure, you'd have to look up the information on Wikipedia or other sources. That, or check out video on TH-cam of some of the scenes they filmed that were posted there.
The train looks to include every non-prop locomotive plus every freight car from both the runaway train and Washington's train, and some prop cars. The order of cars in the runaway consist looks mostly symmetrical from front to back, so they could film in either direction. Also check out the graffiti by the artist RIME who they commissioned, look him up. Pretty dope. I think they based "Prixton" off Procor tank cars, which was part of the Pritzker family businesses. Humorous play on a name.
@VIA909 Yeah it is AWVR, It is not a real railroad, these are the "Movie Units" for the UNSTOPPABLE Movie. Which you can see in the Suggestions Videos to your right of the screen.
So awvr was just movie props? I thought they were subsidize atsf locos like bnsf are burlington northern. I was waiting on the flat car with pipes I didn't see it.
@TboltSiren1000T They covered them with NS engine numbers so they could be identified as they were operational locomotives. They had two sets so they could pull the train in either direction. 1206 is actually a dummy loco which was built by the studio which is why the number is actually on there. the film numbers are hidden under the sheet and in some cases edited in post production.
This I would have to say best Catch of the Year the Unstoppable 2009 had no clue that I would be making videos on the trains I'm pretty sure I would have been near Wheeling sooner then 2013 Near some of my Family Roots in West Virginia!!
Are all the brand names on the freight cars fictional? I'm pretty sure "Prixton Chemical" is not a real company. How did the movie producers acquire all these cars and what happened to them afterwards? Is it possible to find one with its movie paint job still on?
"Connie, the throttle was in notch eight, full power, it was 39 cars!" Now we know why Dewey was so stupid. I count 59, unless the other 20 were 1206's train. Yes, I know AWVR isn't real and the film was based on the CSX 8888 "Crazy 8s" incident.
There are 2 engines in the gray scheme most likely meaning they never tipped and exploding I watched a video I cant remember the title but it showed everything and how it was made so effects most likely showed that those locos never crashed.
The grey locomotives you see are real sd40-2s and were used in shooting and moving equipment around. The pair of locomotives that crashed in the movie were gutted and scrapped engines put back together with fake and extra locomotive parts and to make it look like the actual thing
huh. i never thought about what the unstoppable train was called, i knew it wa a manifest, but now i know its called NS 043-06. On this train however, it isnt 39 cars OR 25 so im confused
they only had like 1 - 5 on. Plus, the cars were all part of the movie, and they just put them all together for the move, instead if just having like 7 different trains going by. Then people would start thinking AWVR is a real railroad.
Bruh I saw 777 767 767 777 1206 1206 1206 Imagine if all the awvrs go by them selfs the southern pacific.might go fast on time like 777 767 Edit: I forgot wheres the SD40
Dang, I never realized they used this many trains for the movie
Had to have backup for breakdowns.

It actually would be amazing to railfan and see these in real life, would've been a master dream for me.
CPKC, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP and KCS) might have something sorta similar to the red yellow and black AWVR paint scheme
@@UnionPacificFan-cu3ptAWVR 777 and 767 are the CP unit
777 and 767's nose's paintjobs were definitely inspired by Santa Fe/BNSF.
"a missile the size OF DAH CHYSLA BUILDING!"
Rosario Dawson was hot AF in this film.
777 trains
@@anonymousinc6330☠️
The people waiting at the gates were just convinced the AWVR was a real railroad! Catch of the year!!
Ya because they no nothing about trains. LOL
+Belem Werderich The only thing they know is That ITS A TRAIN!! LOL XD!!!
They just don't use them because they used it in a movie so they like to make it very rare.
What railroad did those diesels actually come from before they were repainted? Was it CSX or Norfolk Southern?
DeathWing, Aspect of death whoops that was a typo my bad
10 engine, that's real unstoppable
watch the movie those are the locomotives from it
No
They are the same Engine
They used a different number for the movie
the real accident was with CSX and there were no more than two locomotives, one main and the other that was connected from behind like the movie, all similar to a super 7

0:40 I could swear that I heard 777's roar
Thats actually 777 they just wrote over it with a piece of paper
0:51 stop it, we can see legendary 1206
Wow, you got real lucky with that, and also the Operation Lifesaver locomotive
I thought it was only 2 1206's now i see it is 3...
but in UNSTOPPABLE *Behind the scenes* they said there are 4 1206s
I wish these locomotives are replanted to celebrate the Anniversary of Unstoppable. That would be amazing.
Here is proof that railroads still could use old power to tow manifest trains. Not only did a GP38-2 and 2 SD40-2s basically pull a manifest train but also towed 6 dead locomotives as well.
Yep still are strong too.
Cool that they took the time to do all that rolling stock and not just the locomotives themselves.
I wish Canadian Pacific kept them as Heritage units
Cpkc should redo em
Honestly.
@@marcleslac2413i mean... Their paint scheme is kinda
@@danielferroviastheir new corporate scheme is like a knock off version of 767’s scheme with the red yellow and black on the end.
The AWVR Locos were from the movie, Thought they would've at least been Repainted If put into service, Guess I was wrong.
They were not in service, the movie was still being filmed. This is a change of filming locations.
it hurts to see awvr go back :'( BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Wait, AWVR actually existed at one time? I thought it was fictitious for the film.
@@anonymousinc6330 AWVR never existed
@@spiralhillrailfan3768 Ok, thanks, original comment confused me - I had it right the first time then.
I would buy the blue train. i forgot the name of the train :(
No, They were trying to get the camera man out of the way so they can film.
What's with the last SD40's Hood? (1208)
I'm pretty sure that's the unit they used to shoot all of the cab scenes.
They modified it to put a camera there to film some scenes.
0:48 if you stop the video you can the number 1206

The GE locomotives used for 777 and 767 were CP

That looks like the movie of The Runaway Train
@VIA909 Yeah it is AWVR, It is not a real railroad, these are the "Movie Units" for the UNSTOPPABLE Movie. Which you can see in the Suggestions Videos to your right of the screen.
I saw 3 1206 before the cars
Great freight train! The variety of the locomotives and the 'fictional' AWVR are so great!!
+1 and favorites!
That's cool that it was pulled by NS operation lifesaver and amazing Horn
AWVR is not real but if it was than wow
So awvr was just movie props? I thought they were subsidize atsf locos like bnsf are burlington northern. I was waiting on the flat car with pipes I didn't see it.
10 awvr locomotives was patched to new numbers

すごい機関車の数ですね
This was after the film
No, this was changing filming locations.
I saw that movie and its awesome!
Yessir! I watched it today!
Fun fact they did that when the movie came out to show off all of the trains
This I would have to say best Catch of the Year the Unstoppable 2009 had no clue that I would be making videos on the trains I'm pretty sure I would have been near Wheeling sooner then 2013 Near some of my Family Roots in West Virginia!!
0:44 what notch are those ac4400cws in and what is the sound called as I’ve heard it on Gevos to so I know it’s definitely a GE locomotive sound
That was insane man!!
@Train2590 I think all of the freight cars from the film were in that train as well. Definatly recognise the Tankers.
AshHill07
Of course
Wait a second unstoppable is real!?
No they were bringing the train back to Canada from the movie filming location
Awesome video!.... I've never seen the whole train with ALL the cars used in the film
IF it's un-maned who blew the whistle?
OMG you are so lucky you caught these! i film Canadian Pacific trains, and i have seen the CP Units 9777, and 9782 before!
so why did they add stickers with numbers on it on almost every AVVR engine?
@Infamousperson00 All of the "red" AC4400's were leased from CP and the SD40-2's are leased from the WLE.
i think that the last AWVR train needed some repairment
Camera loco for cab shots
I'm having a difficult time believing a single SD 40-2 (3000 hp) can stop two Ac 4400's (8800 hp). Am I missing something here?
I’m a little late but they had a stuntman apply the manual breaking on the cars in the movie
Whats with all the locomotives for a sort train i have seen longer trains with less locomotives in hilly areas.
NS had already put their numbers on some of them units!!
I wish I would of gotten more video on the Unstoppable train when they were filming, oh well. Great video
That is really awesome. The movie is good too, but I'd just as soon rather see this train.
Read the description, please, its not hard to take some seconds to do it
i wonder where the AWVR engines are now in 2022
Are all the brand names on the freight cars fictional? I'm pretty sure "Prixton Chemical" is not a real company. How did the movie producers acquire all these cars and what happened to them afterwards? Is it possible to find one with its movie paint job still on?
Locomotive NS SD40-2 and AWVR AC4400CW and GP38-2B
They have a a song and a music video say a runaway train
I love that song
Not fair. Its unstoppable.😂😂😂😂😂😂. Love it.
man you did a good job railfanning the awvr
"Connie, the throttle was in notch eight, full power, it was 39 cars!" Now we know why Dewey was so stupid. I count 59, unless the other 20 were 1206's train. Yes, I know AWVR isn't real and the film was based on the CSX 8888 "Crazy 8s" incident.
I knew they had two sets of AC4400CW's, but I thought they had only two 1206's, but I guess there was three
The last 1206 in the lashup was actually a filming unit for the cab scenes.
I'm guessing that the blue locomotives are DM&E/IC&E locomotives.
Yes sir. I have that movie.
+bkriegel95 me too
They were actually Wheeling & Lake Erie Units, but yes they are painted like the DM&E/IC&E
A make believe train on a real railroad. cool !!
Beautiful
Cool to see AWVR 7376 and 7346 under load... oh wait
What ever happened to the SD40 that had the camera setup on it? Did they ever fix it so it could be used again?
That was a gutted engine so it probably ended in as scrap
There are 2 engines in the gray scheme most likely meaning they never tipped and exploding I watched a video I cant remember the title but it showed everything and how it was made so effects most likely showed that those locos never crashed.
The grey locomotives you see are real sd40-2s and were used in shooting and moving equipment around. The pair of locomotives that crashed in the movie were gutted and scrapped engines put back together with fake and extra locomotive parts and to make it look like the actual thing
The ones you see in this vid are the real locos
The ones in the movie were dummy locos
What is 1206s current number and what current paint?
Those were the exact Allegheny valley locos from the movie
Wow what was it like to see movie Set trains on the move?
59 cars for all that powet
arlingtontrains7 most of the locomotives are running dead in tow (shut down/engines aren’t running)
Also power not powet
Everyone is literally calling it unstoppable. ITS RUNAWAY
ITS UNSTOPPABLE, NOT RUNAWAY
@@anulsafipo8078 True
RUNAWAY is other movie
AWESOME CATCH!!!
Movie equipment... real train cars and an OLS hauling it all!!
That’s A Norfolk Southern
power move 10 locos + 777's freight stock + 1206's freight stock
Unbelievable, Just Unbelievable
0:51 what happened whit this locomotive???😓
Most likely a engine used at the end of the movie to show if in the movie it was used alot and beaten idk
a prop egine so they can film the inside of it without using gopros instead
Wow, awesome! I just realized the rail cars were from the movie too!
Gametrain Productions I already knew that
So they're real but just never used on trains in todays world?
The train Is from Unstoppable
I love AWVR 1206
what did they do to the running numbers on the awvr locomotives?
Awesome awesome railfan video.
huh. i never thought about what the unstoppable train was called, i knew it wa a manifest, but now i know its called NS 043-06. On this train however, it isnt 39 cars OR 25 so im confused
NS 043 is only an equipment symbol for the deadhead move, not the symbol of the train represented in the movie
the original CSX unstoppable loco was crazy 8s ... loco number 8888
At The Crossing Productions no it’s the awvr trains that’s behind it
I love that an Operation Lifesaver's loco is leading it all too
awesome P5 on that OLS unit
Ns train operation lifesaver while pulling a engine that is unstoppable.....hmmmm ironic
Lousy movie, awesome catch! Liked and Fav'd. ;-)
-Ted
Nice
I SAW A BLUE COLAR AVR TRAIN AT THE END OF THE LOCOMOTIVE IT WAS DESTROYED THAT CATCH ON FIRE IN THE UNSTOPPABLE TRAIN CRASH SENCE
Wow its the movie train, Nice catch!
And I think they done fliming so they just took everything’s they film to awvr yard?
0:40 funny fact why does awvr 777 number got cover it must be 777 and the back black one is 767
Cool catch!
Hey everyone I like watching the unstoppable movie on tv
0:48
Is 10 engines really necessary for 60 something cars? I don't really think it is.
they only had like 1 - 5 on. Plus, the cars were all part of the movie, and they just put them all together for the move, instead if just having like 7 different trains going by.
Then people would start thinking AWVR is a real railroad.
@SFLRailFan scerw you BEST MOVIE EVER AND BETTER THAN ATOMIC TRAIN >:(
Bruh I saw 777 767 767 777 1206 1206 1206 Imagine if all the awvrs go by them selfs the southern pacific.might go fast on
time like 777 767
Edit: I forgot wheres the SD40
Dumbass, clear lie. Those fake locomotives were repainted.
i'm gonna say it again, cp should've kept the paints as heritage units
Holy Crap that is alot of engines!!
