This was the greatest railroad movie ever made. The last of its kind, too. All these wonderful steam locomotives were scrapped shortly after the film. that is also why the crashes were so well done. The locomotives were at the end of their useful lives, essentially worthless and the whole rail yard was due for a total tear up and remodel. In the bombing scene, the French RW system agreed to the tremendous and real destruction of the track and rolling stock. It saved them a huge amount of money in the actual demolition of the rail yard that took place immediately after the film was shot. I'm amazed it did not win any awards but from the NBR (National Board of Review, 1966- It was listed in the top ten movies). It was nominated for just one Oscar, for best screenplay, but lost. Worldwide, the film was a financial loss.
This my favorite too. My choices for 2nd and 3rd would be Von Ryan's Express and Emperor of the North Pole. The latter was a low budget film compared to the first two, but still a great story.
I saw it at the Highland Theater in Chicago, when it came out. Nice little theater. It had two entrances, one on 79th Street, one on Ashland. Still there, but now a place of worship.
Lancaster did his own stunts in film and crew used real dynamite during portions of air raid scene as French wanted area cleared out for new construction. Great action movie!
He not only did his stunts he subbed for other actors. In the scene where the teenage boy Is shot on the station roof, that's actually Lancaster falling off the edge. Great actor, great movie!!
NO CGI nonsense here! The greatest war movie scene ever, I am glad that I never lived during this time, I would have crapped myself if I had got caught in this scenario!
The tension in this scene is ever so thrilling!!!! I mean, let alone the audio: The combination of the music, the air raid sirens and the desperate whistles of "Papa" Boule´s engine approaching makes this an absolute masterpiece!!!!!!
I'm not gonna lie here the Air Raid siren and then His whistle followed up by the French national anthem since chills up my spine. There's a reason why this period is called the Golden Age of film
Harrison Ford as "Paul Labiche" in the remake? It might have worked. Nothing against Harrison Ford, but I'm glad that nobody has tried to remake "The Train".
Those pyrotechnics sure beat modern CGI, that's for sure. Yes B L was a great athlete. Watch when Papa Boule kicks B L off his loco, his head is very close to the rail!
Brilliant film dont no how many times I have watched it ,i loved the bit with the spitfire, as he get the locomotive going as fast as it can to get to the tunnel then rams the brakes on and just stops at the far end of the tunnel in billows of steam ,they cant make them like this anymore.
Doc Brown is right. It is a 141R class supplied from the USA as part of the re-construction of the railway infrastructure of France. Lancaster as Labiche is Action Man, doing the stunts himself. Imagine Denzil Washington or Chris Pine in 'Unstoppable' being kicked out of the cab of a moving locomotive & landing within inches of bashing their brains out on a rail. In 'Unstoppable' they did not have real locomotives colliding or jumping the rails.
One of the best war movies ever made. Beats the double hockey sticks why THE TRAIN didn’t even secure an Oscar nomination for the pyrotechnics supervised by visual effects veteran Lee Zavitz (GONE WITH THE WIND; DESTINATION MOON).
fireman:you can't ride through an airraid! papa bul: watch me,FIRE UP THAT ENGINE! >XD hah-ha still my favorite part of the movie, papa bul is awesome! X)
I heard from the movie “The Train” is a based off on a true story like probably in the 1940’s where war started happening and it still is going on. Then they started to make the movie in the 1960’s.
I don't like it. If you look at the videos I've uploaded you will gather I'm keen on trains. This film has the same effect on me as The Charge Of The Light Brigade has on Princess Anne.
I've seen this plenty of times, but for the first time (if I'm not mistaken) I've noticed that the sequence was either done with the help of some miniature work or done with railroad cars built to explode and fall apart easily. However it was done, it could not be improved upon today.
@@DaimosZ and the tanks? Look, I've blown up a lot of things in the military and I don't understand how anyone cannot clearly see there are large scale models in the middle of this sequence
I saw a error in the scene between 1:20-1:33. If you look at after he gets off the ladder and boards the running locomotive you'll see the armored train is next to the train that he just got on. But when he gets kicked off there's a track in between them. So they switch were the train was for two different scenes.
Actually, the shot where the munitions train is on the adjacent track is just before that siding starts in the shot where he is kicked off. Also, I'm fairly certain that those where a pair of armored Flak cars at the end of the munitions train, similar to the one that appears at the front of the armored engine.
@@mr.contentdeleted9660 (Does on my HO train switches! Lionel O-gauge switches detecthe car or locomotiventering the closed switch and open it!) Spring switches in yards could prevent derailing cars mistakenly entering closed switches.
That’s a scene from later in the film; after the Resistance tries to paint the tops of the first three cars white to warn off any Allied aircraft from attacking The Train. After the A-26s overfly the train without attacking, Von Waldheim realizes that the painted cars are “my ticket to Germany”. Of course, he didn’t know about Labiche still having a block of plastic explosive . . .
At 2:26 people run out of the locomotive shed (under the 'R' of 'Vaires') amidst the explosions and flying debris! Dangerous place to be around, apparently!

Much like Buster Keaton's the general it took years for this film to find its footing
Shame they had smash up historic locos and rolling stock. Much of it could have been restored
@@noelchild4217 dont worry, the age of steam is making a comeback in the UK and United States
This movie has rewatchability which is rare
This my favorite too. My choices for 2nd and 3rd would be Von Ryan's Express and Emperor of the North Pole. The latter was a low budget film compared to the first two, but still a great story.
From ladder to locomotive in one shot. Lancaster was always so athletic.
Thank you John Frankenheimer. One of the greatest war scenes ever filmed. Must have been fantastic to see and hear on the silver screen.

and just heard that the effects were supervised by Lee Zavitz, who did the fire sequence in Gone With the Wind.

One of best action scenes in movies ever. The train was a great movie
"You can't ride thorough an air raid!"
"Watch me."
This gets me every time lol
I have seen this movie several times - superb acting and action. No cgi or blue screen. Watch it!
Lancaster doing his own stunts! This is one of the best WWII Action historical films ever made IMHO.
He not only did his stunts he subbed for other actors. In the scene where the teenage boy Is shot on the station roof, that's actually Lancaster falling off the edge. Great actor, great movie!!
0:11 and 1:53 undoubtably the two most scary and haunting sounds living over in Europe during 1914-1918 and 1939-1945

@@ThugLifeBill Yessir!!!
Liked the way the German pipe-smoker was the first guy out of the interlocking tower when the air raid sirens went off!
Wish we had stars like like that these days. BL always gave a great performance.
Burt nominated for 5 Academy Awards and won Best Actor in 1960 for this movie. Extremely well deserved best performance in a movie ever.
No. Burt Lancaster won the Oscar for "Elmer Gantry"
They actually used a real trainyard that was to be demolished, filled it with to-be-retired rolling stock and then planned out the sequence.
The best thing in a old movies, no cgi
The switchtower going up at 2:34 and the boxcars at 2:44 are the best explosions.
I agree and i love then the armored Train blows up
They are called vans

John frankenheimers best movie
Drove RIGHT Out Of A Warzone.
Need a shirt with his face on it that says straight out of an air raid
Masterpiece. It makes new cgi movies look like crap.
Stunni'ng.Perfect editing, direction. Wonderful shot in black and white. Used french and German actors. NowI want to drive a train.
At 0:48, Major Herren (Wolfgang Preiss) looks up and thinks, “Man, we’ve been had again!”
The shoe is on the other foot now, Jerry's!!!!
the shot where LANCASTER was waving a flag, then down ropes , runs to the train was made in ONE TAKE
"Dietrich! What the hell is going on up there?!"
John frankenheimer was one of the best movie directors
BRUCKENHEIMER later showed great work in RONIN with bob deniro & jean reno
Get off MY TRAIN!
You know it’s more impressive when they didn’t have cgi and had to do all this for real, one mistake and they would have to retake the whole shot
As sad is it is to see historical trains destroyed, it does make up for a spectacular sequence

Good thing Lancaster was a great athlete, if those stunts had gone wrong, esp. where he's shoved off the locomotive, he could've been killed.
Lancaster must have been from New Jersey.
He was actually injured at one point during production. That limp Lancaster has in the late stages of the film--it was real.
This scene is probably the best part of the movie
Rip all the steam trains

2:18 The explosion sound effect in TTTE Rusty and the Boulder when Boulder crashes into the sheds.

At :45. that is a 141R, an American or Canadian built mikado! never notice that before. Great, great movie! It's what turned me on to European trains.
