I agree. How the train doesn't get derailed/ severe damage is very unrealistic. Also, a level crossing signal fell over, (WITH WIRES DISCONNECTED!) and still flashed.
I love this film. Denzel and Chris Pine work really good together, love seeing Jessy Schram, Rosario, Kevin Dunn, Kevin Chapman, Kevin Corrigan and Lew Temple, and I think it's just really well made and emotional in a few parts.

This Movie was Intense I saw this in Theaters little did I realize this would be one of Tony Scott's Final Films before he Passed away.... Tony Scott you made one of the Most Action Packed Train Movies we've ever seen yet!
Actually old school box cars were wood and metal the wheels the Bodie that held the wheels the frame that the bones were attached to or metal and then a wooden box was built on them
I seem to be the only one who’s noticed the boxcar at 0:49 isn’t even on the track! Clever camerawork none the less, Tony Scott created an excellent Film
I spent 40 years working on the railroad and I hate to burst anyone's bubble but there is absolutely nothing in this movie that is anywhere realistic from the start to the big finish where they careen around that big curve on the trestle. Rail cars sit on the truck assembly (the wheel thingy) on a centre casting and a big pin. If they tilt up where the wheel goes off the rail, it's going over.
Yes it is, but the part about the rain going and leaning over the edge is fantasy. And other little details, like the runaway train being a CSX in real life, but in the movie it is another. Great movie still!
The thing that makes me laugh about this movie is how it's implied that somehow the local Fox station has managed to get someone with a camera to shoot live video in the most impossible places.
The director is a big train fan too. That's why he had the train come to a stop in Scranton, PA (which was renamed Stanton for the movie); because that's where the Railroad Museum Steam Town USA is.
Unstoppable was based on the "Crazy Eights" incident. CSX #8888, carrying hazardous chemicals, ran unmanned at speeds up to 51 mph for 2 hours, from Walbridge, OH (south of Toledo) to Kenton, OH (middle of nowhere). Nothing bad happened, thankfully, but apparently the story was good enough for a movie.
I am so glad you uploaded this bit of unstoppable cuz that bit of unstoppable of 777-707 and 1206 meeting eachother is my favourite part of the film so thank you for uploading it 👍
That boxcar was apparently cardboard & papermache... it didn't leave anything on Triple 7 in what was clearly inspired by the runaway destroying a caboose in Runaway Train with Jon Voight.
This is the movies! Didn’t you know that movies make everything three or four times worse than it really are? Explosions, wrecks, shootings, stabbings, you name it, movies make it bigger than life
Did you know there is a goof in that scene?In the POV of the 777 right before it hits the box car you can see that the box car is not attached to the 1206 freight train but the box car is still on the rails.

Anyone remember the ABC Movie of the Week with Ben Johnson as an Engineer of a runaway passenger train with big new locomotive chasing it down and stopping it?
Great movie. It's based on a real story (CSX 8888), but it's also a sort of remake of "Runaway Train" (1985) by Andrej Konçalovski, with John Voight and Eric Roberts. This scene is very similar to that in which the uncontrolled train crashes onto the caboose of Eastbound 12. And curiously that train's number is 12-06
melissa sprague well when I first posted this comment is because the “hero” crew in the blue train are a switching crew and they had to deal with that out of control train but now my reasons are because some railroads are automating the switching locomotives making there be no point in being a engineer
Welcome to Unstoppable: "What the hell are track switches?" Addition 1206 hadn't fully cleared the junction when 777 arrived. 777 would've hit the switch backwards and could've derailed right there. Later on, Judd's train got pushed into a siding, but there was no way 777 would've stayed on the mainline, it would have followed Judd's train into the siding and derailed. In reality, if they had tried to switch the junction IMMEDIATELY after Judd got into the siding, 777's wheels could've gotten misaligned since it was right behind Judd at the switch. Boxcars are not truck trailers. They aren't wood unless they are REALLY old. You can visibly see that the boxcar is made out of steel, yet the car just explodes into wood fragments. Also, unless that car was carrying nitroglycerin, I see no reason why it would've exploded. In reality, the boxcar would've reacted more similarly to the horse trailer from earlier. And sure, I know the filmmakers probably made the boxcar from scratch, but if they were able to borrow 2 locomotives from Canadian National, how come they couldn't buy a boxcar to destroy for the scene?
They’re called manual or spring switches. They’d programmed for train controls. It depends on the train’s speed, weight or direction. You guys are so strict with action thingies like this masterpiece.
Sorry, you're WRONG on this one -- when a train makes a trailing move over a switch which is lined the wrong way (doesn't matter whether it's a spring switch or not), it does NOT jump the track, it just forcibly pushes the switch blades the other way (which is why sidings are also fitted with derailers to keep runaway rolling stock from going onto the mainline -- see also the 1987 Maryland train wreck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987_Maryland_train_collision )!
Yeeeeaaa ??? Only Steel Boxcars made of plywood , balsa and cheap sheet metal crash like that . A real crash like that would've been worse including the cab of the other engine being crushed in and that last car would have been knocked over taking the gondola car with it if the coupler didn't break .
I remember a similar collision in the 1985 film, Runaway Train. In that film, the runaway’s cab was completely screwed up with debris mangling the front of the train. Here, 777 is almost completely unscathed.
Yep. One reason its a difficult movie to watch if you know anything about how trains and/or physics works. Its a decent movie but sometimes very frustrating.
@@notredboi I’m not sure you can just turn off your brain like that. Not trying to be a smart-aleck but you’d have to be brain dead or something. I get you were just saying to not think about what would really happen but I felt like I should say this.
The good ol Buffalo Line got a spotlight of it's life since Norfolk Southern stopped running their freight between Buffalo-Harrisburg on that line. Was once 45-50 mph track before NS downgraded down to 25-30 mph track (north of Watsontown, PA). Most signals have been removed, became the dark territory. NS ain't interested putting money on that line, instead they focus running freight on Sunbury and Southern Tier line.
