The Second map has Cameron on the top left, Clinton in the center, Centre on the bottom and Lycoming on the right. This movie was in development for a long time, starting in , with filming not beginning until August 31, At various points, Robert Schwentke and Martin Campbell were attached to direct.
Crew members referred to the movie as "The Taking of Pelham " because it was the second consecutive movie directed by Tony Scott starring Denzel Washington featuring a train after The Taking of Pelham Tony Scott talked to railroad workers in order to research the main characters. One of Christopher Nolan's favorite films. Several times, maps show various local towns in the area, including "Findlay".
While there is a Findlay Township in Pennsylvania, there is no specific town or city with that name. This could be a reference to the small city of Findlay, Ohio.
Findlay was one of the locations where the CSX "Crazy Eights" train that inspired the film rolled through during its unmanned journey. One the ACCWs used in filming was originally numbered When they are preparing the , Gileece calls Dewey a "jagoff". This is a term occasionally used in the Pittsburgh area for someone who is inept or incompetent.
When Ned puts the pedal to the metal to catch up to the train with Will the speedometer is reused footage from gone in 60 seconds This might be a glitch or possibly a filming mistake.
Spoilers The trivia items below may give away important plot points. Dynamic brakes work by switching the traction motors that drive the axles to act as generators. The current produced is dissipated as heat in a resistor grid located atop the locomotive.
When Will attempts to brake the train coming into Stanton, the traction motors overheat and burn out - this is the flashes of fire under the train. The "independent" brake is the locomotive's own air brake, which still functions by clamping against the wheel treads after the dynamic brake is burned out. The scene where the train hits the horse box, you can see an animal running across the track before impact.
The story is based on an actual incident that took place near Kenton, Ohio in Things were exaggerated for the film. In real life, half of the cars were empty, with two of them containing molten phenol a non-flammable but highly toxic ingredient used in dyes and adhesives. Why Brakes Lock Up These can include an overheated braking system, using the wrong brake fluid, damaged or broken parts calipers, brake pads, pistons, rotors, or others , a defective ABS component, broken parking brake, and more.

Finally he went to apply dynamic brakes, and this is where the error occurred. Rather than applying the dynamic brakes he moved the throttle to notch 8. With the locomotive now accelerating it was impossible to get back on after correctly lining the switch. Immediately the CSX dispatcher, as well as local authorities, were notified of the runaway. Before long the locomotive burned through its independent brakes and the train truly was out of control.
Even worse, there was no one to operate the horn or bell, and the locomotive light was not on. Luckily, the police were able to flag most crossings and prevent a grade-crossing accident.
Another significant concern to authorities were the two cars of molten phenol that made up part of the train. This chemical is mildly acidic and dangerous when inhaled or when it comes in contact with the skin although not dangerous on the same level Unstoppable makes them out to be.
The attempts made to stop the train quickly mounted. At Galatea, near mile post 34, portable derails were placed on the track in an effort to push the train off the tracks. These were designed mainly for slow-speed derailments and blew threw them without incident.
At another point farther down the line, the police attempted to shoot the fuel cutoff switch a scene from Unstoppable with surprising accuracy , but the train traveled on unimpeded. The situation began to get more dire as the runaway train approached increasingly urban areas with a number of tight curves.
At this point a northbound train, Q, was heading directly towards the fast-moving escapee. The dispatcher warned them to clear the mainline and take the nearest siding as quickly as possible.
Q ducked into the Dunkirk, OH siding about 15mph higher than the rulebook allowed, but was able to get off the main track safely. A plan was hastily drawn up to chase the runaway down. The crew of Q, Jess Knowlton and Terry Forsonm, were asked if they would volunteer to try and catch from the rear. Excited for the chance to save the day, they uncoupled their locomotive from their train and waited for to pass by.
After it cleared at about 45 mph the dispatcher threw the switch and the chase began. This was an extremely hazardous option, as it required the crew to travel backwards at high speed fully knowing there was a train ahead of them. A sudden derailment or stoppage could have ended very badly.
Just north of Kenton the crew successfully caught up and coupled to the rear of the runaway train. They immediately kicked their dynamic brakes into high gear and the train began to slow for the curves of Kenton. A little ways south of the city, CSX had another locomotive taken off a nearby local on standby to couple to the train from the front and slow it further, but it turned out this would be unnecessary. Soon the train had slowed to around 11 mph.
At the state route 31 crossing, Trainmaster Jon Hosfeld jumped on board and successfully shut down the errant locomotive. The chase was over but the legend of had just begun. Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled A derailment in a known location is always better than a derailment that could occur near a heavily populated area. According to the official report due to a technicality in the configuration of the brake system it did not engage properly.
However, there is still a lot of controversy regarding this conclusion depending on who you ask, but most seem to think the application of the independent brake disabled the alerter. The ex-Conrail SD has reportedly been involved in a number of suspicious incidents. If you see it in your area be sure to keep your children and pets close at hand.
If you want to create your own reenactment of the chase, the HO model of CSX is available by Atheran and for sale on-line. Be sure to watch Unstoppable and see if engine lives up to the standards set by the original runaway locomotive.
Unstoppable is now available to purchase on DVD. Consider using this link as a way to help support the site. Wow, this is really cool. Thank you for telling us what really happened!
