Tell me what you think? I think its going to be the most awesome movie ever!
That I gotta see!
Thanks!
Looks good! I am sure there will be inaccuracies, but don’t most movies have them?
Ill have to go see it.
I don’t know if I’ll go with “most awesome movie ever” but still looks pretty good. Tony Scott knows how to put an action flick together. Still, I don’t know whether it’s worth the $75 to take my family. On Demand is only $5, and Netflix is, essentially, free.
I remember the original incident – it wasn’t nearly that dramatic.Here is a link to the alleged CSX final incident report from a Railfan site: http://kohlin.com/CSX8888/z-final-report.htm The funny part is, the caption says, “The Culprit” and shows a photo of CSX #8888; it should show a photo of the engineer.
With the next set of forum upgrades, can we add a Facebook-style “Like” button?

My first fear is what the NIM(rods)Bys have to say to such a thing…
If the engine failed, ain;t nuthin’ that engineer could’ve done. Hostorical event huh?
I’m in who cares about inaccuracy’s it’s entertainment but then I’ll be the watching it on DVD one night and my wife will constantly be saying it’s only a movie
This is a little bit of old news, the trailer has been out for a month or two.
Nevertheless, it’s going to be a great action train movie. And Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors.
Actually once a train goes out of control there is very little the engineer can do to stop it.
Actually CSX is the culprit since they happily cut the crew size over the years to a almost unsafe level…
WEll it looks like an interesting movie, purely from a “like trains” standpoint.
I think I shall see it, but when it comes out later,not in the theater.
But I wonder how much fear of unmanned or runaway trains it will cause among those ordinary citizens who hate waiting trains at a crossing. Or those who fear what is in those RR cars and tankers flashing by. It won’t exactly be showing trains and Railroads in the “best possible light” based on real incident or not…
Pretty bold statement. Not sure if “most awesome movie ever” fits, but entertaining for sure. I will go to see it mostly because a lot of the rail scenes were filmed quite litteraly in my back yard. Many of the scenes in the trailer looked familiar. The trainload of kids were from a local school. a couple parents of the kids work with me so it is something special to them as well. The interesting thing I got from them was the fact that the filming for the kids took place over a 4 day period. Each day the kids had to show up in the same clothing as the filming sequence would be edited down to a short time span from 1 day.
Good point but,there’s been other shows and one that comes readily to mind is “Train Wrecks” that was hosted by John Bunnell…
That was a one sided piece of work that over dramatised by Mr.Bunnell .
Thats old news. Still I can’t wait to see it.[B]
I’m thinking that unless you have a really nice surround sound system, this is a movie that must be seen on the big screen. To feel the awesome power of this movie. I think a tour on a static (albeit) powered locomotive should be part of every driver education course. I had no idea of the sheer power of one, until I stood on one; and it was just idling. If people had a better idea of the power of one, they MIGHT be less inclined to beat one at a railroad crossing.
I totally agree that without a $10G home theater system, the movie theater experience can’t be beat.
That said, by the time I’ve shelled out $8.50 each for my wife, myself, and my oldest son, and $7 each for the younger two boys; add in popcorn ($5 for a small cup) and soda ($3 for a small), and I’ve already made a nice installment payment on that home theater system… It takes one heck of a movie to make me want to shell out that kind of dough, no matter what the experience is like.
I know it will get a whole bunch of paranoid yutzes confusing Hollywood with reality. The real incident was a freak chain of errors by the engineer (at least, according to the report), and CSX insists that they have made changes to prevent it from occurring again. Still, when have people preferred facts when rumor and legend are so much more fun?
The movie kinda has a personel touch for me all the GE,s are CP and came thru our shop before and after the movie so I can hardly wait to see the movie!!
Sounds alot better than some movies I’ve been drug to see. Looks cool though.
We have a surround sound 5 speaker theater system that holds 5 Dvds, will play music Cds, and will show off Kodak Photo cds from Yamaha and only cost us only $75. It does very well at producing a nice surround sound experience-even to rattling walls and shaking the floor when something like a train goes rumbling by in a movie. No need to spend a fortune like $10 grand and the cost of one family outting to the theater will pay for the entire system! Home “media centers” or “theater systems” that cost a fortune are overrated as far as we are concerned…and hey, think of all the money a good $75 system will save that could go to model trains!!!
Must admit that we don’t see a lot of movies because of the content of most of them today, but this one, I have to see. It appears that they “sacrificed” some ATSF warbonnets in it, which doesn’t set well with me, but do have to see it. I remember my dad going through a crash of two diesels way back when he was still alive and still working for Santa Fe, but nothing as dramatic as this movie seems to be. But then Hollywood doesn’t always reflect true life.
