heard the news, This new movie is nothing good

Are those many large fuel tanks at the bridge really there on the prototype ? Thats a dumb location for fuel storage.

No, the storage tanks are non-existent in real life. As shown below the area under the real bridge is just a vacant lot.

so, that scene on the "Stanton Bridge" was shot on the Wheeling and Lake Erie? I wondered why there was a high-nosed W&LE GP-35 with AAR trucks in one of the shots.

I saw an ad for it tonight. At least it apears to be ATSF, not a current RR.

Sorry if it is an old post, but it is AWVR...since the paint sceme looks like Warbonnets for som reason, it is a great movie, I realy enjoyed it!
Also, the engineer didnt care if the airbrake was broken, the locomotives seem to not have that button on them........ the two AC4400s arn't realy AC4400s,
They are homemade units, that are AC4250-HJEs'.:hehe:

Sorry To bring back a old thread (and I mean Old!) but looking at what everyone has said and upon full studying on all the engines and by what my father told me (he works for CSX) I found out that in the way even though they are using a Fictional company but you can Turn off the Alerter (Do not know why they created that feature) Hence that was why the train never went into emergency

The consist did not have any of it's trainline airhoses coupled, and the brakes were not charged. I doubt that disabling the alerter would have done anything, as the engineer dismounted the moving train in order to throw a misaligned switch, leaving the loco in motion, unmanned, on a downhill gradient.

Wet rail, and slippery handholds, along with the train going too fast, caused the engineer to slip and fall down on the ballast, him watching the train increase in speed.

The movie has little factual basis with the actual prototype (correcrtion) #8888 runaway.
