My dad took me to see this movie when I was really young. The plot had played out so many times on my train sets and train toys. That’s just what you do when you are 8 years old and still obsessed with trains. Seeing all those train fantasies actually play out on the big screen was a dream come true. Times were so simple back then…
No less than 5 helicopters all circling each other, a convoy of emergency vehicles on an adjacent highway to two trains ramming into each other on the tracks with a guy on a rope wildly swinging around above the trains. Scott may not have had the lust for explosions as Michael Bay, but he knew how to direct action scenes like nobody else could.
Let's be honest, even if the train didn't explode a crash like that is more then likely gonna leave a lot of broken bones. And if Judd ended up hitting his head during that... last stop, end of the line.
If they'd had a second person on the blue train this wouldn't have happened. Instead of just lowering a guy in by helicopter (which is difficult to do to begin with) the second person on the lashup could've just hopped onto 777 from the back.
This is practically my favorite movie. But at 1:29, you see 777 slam into the Lashup, jump the switch, and then slam into the lashup again! It’s like the train went back into time.
This is my main gripe with this movie. So many times it seems the train jumps back in time. Its alot closer in one shot, it cuts away to show some action, then its basically at the exact same spot as the previous shot. Still love the movie even so.
If diesel fuel transformed into vapour during impact, spark has the potential to cause explosion. This has happened back in 1999 when two trains collided near Ladbroke Grove in London.
So let me get this straight. After pulling the 2 SD40's in front to slow down the train, they switch the track to allow it to take the siding, but directly after the 777 hits the 7346, the 2 locomotives take the siding but somehow magically the 777 and rest of train continue down the main? There wouldn't have been enough time to switch the tracks back given the distance between the two consist of locomotives. If the director had any knowledge of how railroads work they would know it's not realistic for the 777 to not take the siding as well, for trains only go where the rails take them. Furthermore locomotives do not just spontaneously combust when they fall on to their side.
They took two sets of footage and edited 777 in to the sence cause it's impossible for one train to go down one track and the other right behind it to keep going. Just watch the behind the sences video
It’s just entertainment, pure fun and big fiery explosions, the public wouldn’t know how the rails operate unless you’re a foamer ;). And trainman1000 wtf? Do you even know what you’re talking about?
You're right, T7 would completely eliminate that helicopter but I guess it took off because it's in the air at 0:12 and not there at 0:15. Still, they cut that really close.
No? After the movie was done, AWVR 777 and 767 were repaired and was sold off to Canadian pacific. 7375 and 7346 where dummy locomotives. AWVR 1206 were taken back to the railroad company wheeling and Lake Erie.
Because I saw the whole movie I can explain it , the freaking 777 train is going far too fast so it just crosses through and when Judd tried to brake to slow it down one last time in the siding the train just pushed him out of the track and btw this scene is not complete because in between some parts are some deleted scenes the person who owns this channel may of cut off so before he makes it to the siding he sees the speed and says “slow down god damn it “ and then when they get to the siding like I said he brakes for the last time but before he realizes his mistake he was already pulling the brakes. So yea
@@Santiagogamingroblox engines cannot run through a switch like that, no matter how big or how fast without derailing. UP Big boy(arguably the largest engine ever made) 4005 had a catastrophic accident when it ran into a switch at 50 mph 67 years ago. If anything, the technology in making stronger rails has only improved, making it even harder to run through a switch.
Anyone want something about the scene , it ain’t complete so some parts in between aren’t there so when they go in the siding Judd starts braking and justs starts pushing him off
You dont stop a runaway from the front anyways... thats where they made the mistake. You attach on the rear and open the air line valve to trip the trains emergency brakes = safe stop of entire train..
@hyun ahn The movie was inspired by a real incident, it happened in 2001 or something with CSX 8888, this movie and that incident is almost the same but with different locomotives and it’s somewhere in Ohio (I forgot) I’m not sure about what you said
@@anhkietduongdo I know about that. Also, you haven't heard about the 1985 masterpiece that starred Jon Voight (Angelina Jolie's father)? 😑 There's a scene in the film that involved a stunt with a minor character smashes into a train's front windshield. 😒 You should check it out, it's an AWESOME film. 😎
Perhaps he could have stopped or turned off the locomotives, left 7375 and walked to the triple 7. Once there he could have stopped the locomotive without worries since 7375 and 7346 being turned off and stopped would not go very far, ¿right?
When I was younger, I never understood why they added roaring noises in the film. But now I do. Those sounds are an attempt to make Triple 7 appear more like a living unstoppable monster that destroys anything in its path instead of a giant metal box.
Yeah, this IS a movie, but there are some notable issues. 1. Locomotive glass is some tough material 2. The locomotives would need to be moving way faster than that to explode in a fireball 3. The track switcher... where do I start? 3a. First of all, ONLY Judd's locomotives get pulled into the siding, 777 should've also gotten pulled in.

Also how could it jump the switch
Good movie, but diesel fuel doesn't explode from spark. It's not gasoline, god damn it...
Uhh. EMD has a reputation for fuel tanks that explode.
If diesel fuel transformed into vapour during impact, spark has the potential to cause explosion. This has happened back in 1999 when two trains collided near Ladbroke Grove in London.
If you look closely, the train tips over onto a fuel tank, and the brake fire set off the diesel
Yes, diesel is highly volatile and can explode from a spark in a frightening fireball...in Hollywoodland.
The sad thing is they actually derailed the two trains in real life and how did triple seven jump the switch

2. The locomotives would need to be moving way faster than that to explode in a fireball
