The trailer for "Unstoppable" is out.

We have talked about this before when they were filming in Ohio and PA. Now, Denzel Washingtons hollywood movie about a runaway train carring hazardous meterials is out and his and he partner have to stop it in another locomotive. Movie looks like it might be a good one.

[ho/ttothemoss]

Oh oh oh oh oh. An action train movie with Denzel Washington, I can't wait to see it.

It doesn't involve a real train though. It's a fake locomotive built around a peterbilt and then digitally altered to be the correct width.

Wrong. Locomotives are AC4400 CP units repainted to the fictional RR used in the movie. The freight cars are also fictional owners.

Congratulations, you corrected someone over the internet.

I was thinking of some other movie then.

What, the DCC stop button is out? Pull the plug, man, quick!

I always nitpick action movies to death but this one looks like fun. I couldn't resist laughing at the random cop car rollover though... reminded me of the chase scene in Blues Brothers with cop cars smashing around and flying through the air entirely at random.

Some pretty nice looking loconmotives in those pictures. I'll probably have to check out the movie sometime.

Looks interesting

 

[ontario midland]

if it's as good as the trailer looks, then man I can't wait till it comes out,to see it.

 

[Chris Roy]

I'm looking forward to it - from what I can see in the trailer, I'm glad they've done their homework and got prototypical modern equipment in there, instead of 'dumbed down for the masses' stereotypical movie railroad stuff.

No need to take offense to it genius. If you dont have anything worthwhile to say then go polute someone elses forum.

I'll be interested in seeing how they justify all the safetys being bypassed.
Looks pretty good tho!

I didn't know that this was based (at least at some level) on a real incident - take a look at the report, though - pretty interesting read:

You're thinking of "Inception", starring Leonardo DiCaprio. They made a fake loco out of Peterbilt for a dream sequence of a train running cars off a city street.

Very interesting read on the real incident that this movie is based on. Really good information on how the brake systems work on a locomotive.

Pretty crazy how the engineer made mistakes only in a specific order which was why it happened. The odds of all those events.
