Unstoppable’s AWVR train #777 nicknamed "The Beast" (for the movie) is based on the CSX train #8888 nicknamed "Crazy Eights" which became a unmanned runaway in 2001, and then later having a derailment in 2003. ![]() ![]() CSX 8888 Runaway Investigation CSX 8888 gets into trouble again |

Nice pics. I love this film, although some scenes are unrealistic. |

I think engine 1206 is a EMD SD40 or SD45. Can anybody tell exactly what type? |

When I first saw this film, it reminded me of the old Fleischer cartoon about being safe around trains. Play Safe (1936) |

The helper unit #767 looks like a Canadian National locomotive, except to the yellow stripe and the AWVR sign. |

The town of Stanton in the movie doesn't exist. There is no town in PA with 752,000 people. Philadelphia is the most populous with over a million and Pittsburgh is second with about 350,000. |

Maybe this fits into a movie-alternate universe. It allows the story to be told without trodding on any real life places, people or entities. |

If you're going to invent a fictional railroad, a police livery that isn't 100% authentic is neither here nor there. |

Doesn't the clip where the throttle moves make anyone feel like the train's possessed? ![]() ![]() Here's a link to YouTube for proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtQFmhUhOK8&t=652s -- Last edit: 2019-04-06 15:40:40 |

I had read about the GE AC4400CW Locomotive, the "4400" part of the name refers to the locomotive's engine output of 4,400 horsepower, the 4400 Series locomotive shares a similar appearance to the 4400's bigger and powerful version; the GE AC6000CW with the locomotive's 6,000 horsepower engine. GE AC6000CW along with the EMD SD90MAC (also powered by a 6,000 horsepower engine) were considered as the most powerful single unit locomotive later surpassed by the EMD DDA40X "Centennial" Locomotive with it's dual engines of a combined total of 6,600 horsepower. -- Last edit: 2019-04-17 16:20:05 |
