heard the news, This new movie is nothing good

[sparky15]

I had an 8 track player in my car in high school.:hehe:

Never worked on the railroad, all my war stories involve working on F-15's in the Air Force.

I was a booger hooker, up until Rivet Workforce kicked in. Got 8 stitches over my eye from panel 118. Some schmo thought it was easier to just tie it back to change out a stab actuator rather than get sheet metal to pull all the high torques out. .040 safety wire isn't as strong as it used to be.

IDK if all the film was made in PA, but Port Allegany, Eldred, Turtlepoint, Emporium, Milesburg, and Tyrone were some locations in Pennsylvania.

I was a jet engine mechanic prior to rivet workforce.

Here's where I got my stitches. Hit my head so hard I knocked my self out.

Western Train Movies

Why dont film directors shoot old western type movies?
By the way, does anybody know about the movie "Where the Hell's that Gold?!?!" shot in 1988 on the C&TS?

What? You mean Jonah Hex ISN'T a Western?

 

[arose1228]

every diesel nowadays has a button in the cab that must be pushed every 45 seconds (30 seconds if the train is moving faster than 45mph) and if it is not pushed and the audio alarm sounds for more than sixty seconds the train goes into instant emergency braking. simple as that.

A nit pic here if the locomotive like crazy eight had been mistakenly put in full throttle and NO braking is applied then the emergency braking shall apply although in the case of crazy eight and possiblly this 777 unstoppable train the locomotive brake was applied (I can't remember if the trainbrake was in application) the auto braking sequence is terminated. This was fixed after the crazy eight incident if I remember right. But the point is that when the locomotive brake is applied and the throttle is on the automatic emergency braking is not applied. If I am incorrect please point me in a right direction.

Netflix has it available for instant viewing so I'll watch it later today.

Westerns aren't 'cool' anymore you see. Like Pirate movies weren't cool anymore, but somehow Disney managed to get out of that and Pirates of the Caribean was a success.

 

[railman15]

I want to see it. I think the plot , though not accurate, is interesting.

 

[StorkNest]

On subject, if you look around some rail picture sites, there are plenty of pics of the diesels used in New York, Pennsylvania and I think Ohio. Looks like part of the W&LE was used for filming.
That's plenty of shots for reskinners!:hehe:
They are calling it the Allegheny and West Virginia (AWVR).

Just got back from seeing UNSTOPPABLE. I thought it was very very good. Exciting movie, very well made, and portrays Railroads in a positive light.

[sawyer811]

yeah, i'm off to see it tommorow. Since i started this thread, i feel as if i'm supposed to eat my own words. This movie has grown on me, if i must say so myself.

DON'T NOBODY SPOIL THE PLOT OR THE ENDING!!!!!

 

[RooRocz]

A few technical inaccuracies, for instance, they used EMD sounds for GE locomotives, but other than that it was a good movie.

I loved the surprise ending of "Atomic Train" ... Nuclear groundburst in downtown Denver ... and then ( the hero put down his cup of coffee, and joined in the rebuilding process ) they had a good old fashoned Amish barn raising festival. And the engineer ended up going to work for Walmart. http://sendables.jibjab.com/originals/big_box_mart

 

[Klinger]

Thank you for posting the plot.....anyone who can use a computer can use google, post a damn link and don't spoil it, I'm going today for my Birthday

 

[jadebullet]

Yeah, nice one Aardvark. Seriously WTF. That is called spoiling the plot.


Anyway, I saw it today. It was pretty good, minus the weird switches that magically change orientation on the fly in order to propel the plot, or the randomly highly explosive diesel fuel.

 

[SD45T-2]

Two words- AWESOME AND EPIC

It was a awesome, it only broke reality a few times and it also accounted for the alerter.
