I always loved how the AWVR locos looked, especially the red and black, same for the freight, if only we knew more about the fictional company lol, it's a true shame nobody made a heritage unit of one of the schemes, or even a private owner
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 Wasn't involved, but having done crew transportation for a small railroad, I know there is no such thing as a quick repair on these, and film production budgets can't afford that kind of delay.
the real accident was with CSX and there were no more than two locomotives, one main and the other that was connected from behind like the movie, all similar to a super 7
@TboltSiren1000T They covered them with NS engine numbers so they could be identified as they were operational locomotives. They had two sets so they could pull the train in either direction. 1206 is actually a dummy loco which was built by the studio which is why the number is actually on there. the film numbers are hidden under the sheet and in some cases edited in post production.
The train looks to include every non-prop locomotive plus every freight car from both the runaway train and Washington's train, and some prop cars. The order of cars in the runaway consist looks mostly symmetrical from front to back, so they could film in either direction. Also check out the graffiti by the artist RIME who they commissioned, look him up. Pretty dope. I think they based "Prixton" off Procor tank cars, which was part of the Pritzker family businesses. Humorous play on a name.
Norfolk Southern diesel bearing the Operation Lifesaver logo on its paint job acting as lead diesel followed by all the AWVR locomotives that took part in the movie and the freight cars, including the Prixton Chemicals tankers and two prop 1206s. Nice! Also, all the AWVR diesels that were borrowed from Canadian Pacific or Wheeling & Lake Erie Railways had their real life numbers over the ones they had in the movie since they were travelling on main line tracks instead of filming for the movie. Have to avoid problems with the Federal Railroad Administration for using movie locomotives on main line tracks without authority.
@@Elliottblancher Not sure, you'd have to look up the information on Wikipedia or other sources. That, or check out video on UA-cam of some of the scenes they filmed that were posted there.
Here is proof that railroads still could use old power to tow manifest trains. Not only did a GP38-2 and 2 SD40-2s basically pull a manifest train but also towed 6 dead locomotives as well.
@VIA909 Yeah it is AWVR, It is not a real railroad, these are the "Movie Units" for the UNSTOPPABLE Movie. Which you can see in the Suggestions Videos to your right of the screen.
So awvr was just movie props? I thought they were subsidize atsf locos like bnsf are burlington northern. I was waiting on the flat car with pipes I didn't see it.
This I would have to say best Catch of the Year the Unstoppable 2009 had no clue that I would be making videos on the trains I'm pretty sure I would have been near Wheeling sooner then 2013 Near some of my Family Roots in West Virginia!!
There are 2 engines in the gray scheme most likely meaning they never tipped and exploding I watched a video I cant remember the title but it showed everything and how it was made so effects most likely showed that those locos never crashed.
The grey locomotives you see are real sd40-2s and were used in shooting and moving equipment around. The pair of locomotives that crashed in the movie were gutted and scrapped engines put back together with fake and extra locomotive parts and to make it look like the actual thing
Are all the brand names on the freight cars fictional? I'm pretty sure "Prixton Chemical" is not a real company. How did the movie producers acquire all these cars and what happened to them afterwards? Is it possible to find one with its movie paint job still on?
+Dr. Rich's Rail Page why couldn't they just run the locos and the consist all together? I'd put the ac4400cws along with the lash up in the front,mei the 1206s in the back. The train can run like that, correct?
huh. i never thought about what the unstoppable train was called, i knew it wa a manifest, but now i know its called NS 043-06. On this train however, it isnt 39 cars OR 25 so im confused

It actually would be amazing to railfan and see these in real life, would've been a master dream for me.
CPKC, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP and KCS) might have something sorta similar to the red yellow and black AWVR paint scheme
@@UnionPacificFan-cu3ptAWVR 777 and 767 are the CP unit
777 and 767's nose's paintjobs were definitely inspired by Santa Fe/BNSF.
The people waiting at the gates were just convinced the AWVR was a real railroad! Catch of the year!!
Ya because they no nothing about trains. LOL
+Belem Werderich The only thing they know is That ITS A TRAIN!! LOL XD!!!
They just don't use them because they used it in a movie so they like to make it very rare.
What railroad did those diesels actually come from before they were repainted? Was it CSX or Norfolk Southern?
DeathWing, Aspect of death whoops that was a typo my bad
Dang, I never realized they used this many trains for the movie
Had to have backup for breakdowns.

@@unaizilla your saying that as if the first 2 engines didn’t get derailed
10 engine, that's real unstoppable
watch the movie those are the locomotives from it
No
They are the same Engine
They used a different number for the movie
the real accident was with CSX and there were no more than two locomotives, one main and the other that was connected from behind like the movie, all similar to a super 7
Cool that they took the time to do all that rolling stock and not just the locomotives themselves.

777 trains

Wow, you got real lucky with that, and also the Operation Lifesaver locomotive
0:40 I could swear that I heard 777's roar
Thats actually 777 they just wrote over it with a piece of paper
Great freight train! The variety of the locomotives and the 'fictional' AWVR are so great!!
+1 and favorites!
I wish these locomotives are replanted to celebrate the Anniversary of Unstoppable. That would be amazing.

The GE locomotives used for 777 and 767 were CP

Yep still are strong too.
0:51 stop it, we can see legendary 1206
@Infamousperson00 All of the "red" AC4400's were leased from CP and the SD40-2's are leased from the WLE.
The AWVR Locos were from the movie, Thought they would've at least been Repainted If put into service, Guess I was wrong.
They were not in service, the movie was still being filmed. This is a change of filming locations.
I wish Canadian Pacific kept them as Heritage units
Cpkc should redo em
Honestly.
@@marcleslac2413i mean... Their paint scheme is kinda
@@danielferroviastheir new corporate scheme is like a knock off version of 767’s scheme with the red yellow and black on the end.
the cow catchers stayed the same for a while, but i do wish they did something official though
I wish I would of gotten more video on the Unstoppable train when they were filming, oh well. Great video
OMG you are so lucky you caught these! i film Canadian Pacific trains, and i have seen the CP Units 9777, and 9782 before!
@Train2590 I think all of the freight cars from the film were in that train as well. Definatly recognise the Tankers.
AshHill07
Of course
@VIA909 Yeah it is AWVR, It is not a real railroad, these are the "Movie Units" for the UNSTOPPABLE Movie. Which you can see in the Suggestions Videos to your right of the screen.
That was insane man!!
I saw that movie and its awesome!
Yessir! I watched it today!
it hurts to see awvr go back :'( BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Wait, AWVR actually existed at one time? I thought it was fictitious for the film.
@@anonymousinc6330 AWVR never existed
@@spiralhillrailfan3768 Ok, thanks, original comment confused me - I had it right the first time then.
Wow, awesome! I just realized the rail cars were from the movie too!
Gametrain Productions I already knew that
NS had already put their numbers on some of them units!!
I thought it was only 2 1206's now i see it is 3...
but in UNSTOPPABLE *Behind the scenes* they said there are 4 1206s
No, They were trying to get the camera man out of the way so they can film.
So awvr was just movie props? I thought they were subsidize atsf locos like bnsf are burlington northern. I was waiting on the flat car with pipes I didn't see it.
I love that an Operation Lifesaver's loco is leading it all too
That is really awesome. The movie is good too, but I'd just as soon rather see this train.
What's with the last SD40's Hood? (1208)
I'm pretty sure that's the unit they used to shoot all of the cab scenes.
They modified it to put a camera there to film some scenes.
This I would have to say best Catch of the Year the Unstoppable 2009 had no clue that I would be making videos on the trains I'm pretty sure I would have been near Wheeling sooner then 2013 Near some of my Family Roots in West Virginia!!
Wow what was it like to see movie Set trains on the move?
This was after the film
No, this was changing filming locations.
Love this set. I'm going to model it someday.
Wow its the movie train, Nice catch!
Fun fact they did that when the movie came out to show off all of the trains
Read the description, please, its not hard to take some seconds to do it
0:33 OLS until
AWESOME CATCH!!!
0:48 if you stop the video you can the number 1206
Awesome train video
I would buy the blue train. i forgot the name of the train :(
Those were the exact Allegheny valley locos from the movie
i wonder where the AWVR engines are now in 2022
The train Is from Unstoppable
Locomotive NS SD40-2 and AWVR AC4400CW and GP38-2B
Beautiful
That looks like the movie of The Runaway Train
I'm guessing that the blue locomotives are DM&E/IC&E locomotives.
Yes sir. I have that movie.
+bkriegel95 me too
They were actually Wheeling & Lake Erie Units, but yes they are painted like the DM&E/IC&E
They have a a song and a music video say a runaway train
I love that song
man you did a good job railfanning the awvr
so why did they add stickers with numbers on it on almost every AVVR engine?
IF it's un-maned who blew the whistle?
0:40 funny fact why does awvr 777 number got cover it must be 777 and the back black one is 767
I knew they had two sets of AC4400CW's, but I thought they had only two 1206's, but I guess there was three
The last 1206 in the lashup was actually a filming unit for the cab scenes.
THat is an Epic catch.
Awesome awesome railfan video.
What is 1206s current number and what current paint?
what did they do to the running numbers on the awvr locomotives?
I'm having a difficult time believing a single SD 40-2 (3000 hp) can stop two Ac 4400's (8800 hp). Am I missing something here?
I’m a little late but they had a stuntman apply the manual breaking on the cars in the movie
Cool to see AWVR 7376 and 7346 under load... oh wait
Movie equipment... real train cars and an OLS hauling it all!!
i think that the last AWVR train needed some repairment
Camera loco for cab shots
awesome P5 on that OLS unit
Not fair. Its unstoppable.😂😂😂😂😂😂. Love it.
Whats with all the locomotives for a sort train i have seen longer trains with less locomotives in hilly areas.
I like that modified grainer turned flat car fifth car from the end. Anybody ever seen one of those before?
@trainman2816 I'm gunna have to correct you there. There is a AWVR boxcar at 1:45 with graffiti on it. xD
What ever happened to the SD40 that had the camera setup on it? Did they ever fix it so it could be used again?
That was a gutted engine so it probably ended in as scrap
There are 2 engines in the gray scheme most likely meaning they never tipped and exploding I watched a video I cant remember the title but it showed everything and how it was made so effects most likely showed that those locos never crashed.

The ones in the movie were dummy locos
power move 10 locos + 777's freight stock + 1206's freight stock
Anyone 2020?
Why all loco number is changed expect AWVR 1206?
Are all the brand names on the freight cars fictional? I'm pretty sure "Prixton Chemical" is not a real company. How did the movie producers acquire all these cars and what happened to them afterwards? Is it possible to find one with its movie paint job still on?
Cool catch!
And I think they done fliming so they just took everything’s they film to awvr yard?
I SAW A BLUE COLAR AVR TRAIN AT THE END OF THE LOCOMOTIVE IT WAS DESTROYED THAT CATCH ON FIRE IN THE UNSTOPPABLE TRAIN CRASH SENCE
I just noticed that all of the cars are ALSO FROM THE MOVIE
Everyone is literally calling it unstoppable. ITS RUNAWAY
ITS UNSTOPPABLE, NOT RUNAWAY
@@anulsafipo8078 True
RUNAWAY is other movie
Nice catch!
0:51 what happened whit this locomotive???😓
Most likely a engine used at the end of the movie to show if in the movie it was used alot and beaten idk
a prop egine so they can film the inside of it without using gopros instead
Why were there 4 777s and 767s?
10 awvr locomotives was patched to new numbers
Wait so for unstoppable they used Norfolk Southern locomotives?
Dan Dowling if you read the caption, you should realize this is NS moving the "movie train" to a different shooting location.
+Dr. Rich's Rail Page why couldn't they just run the locos and the consist all together? I'd put the ac4400cws along with the lash up in the front,mei the 1206s in the back. The train can run like that, correct?
+Dan Dowling 777 and 767 were Canadian pacific locomotives and the lash up locomotives and 1206 were wheeling and lake erie
+Dan Dowling NS was just transporting them to their next movie spot
Even if you haved that dum CSX train
I saw 3 1206 before the cars
Sweet catch
I love AWVR 1206
Unbelievable, Just Unbelievable
Peak casting doesn’t exis-
Nice catch
@VIA909 its AWVR and its a fictional rr
What were they doing with the trains
A make believe train on a real railroad. cool !!
Holy Crap that is alot of engines!!
huh. i never thought about what the unstoppable train was called, i knew it wa a manifest, but now i know its called NS 043-06. On this train however, it isnt 39 cars OR 25 so im confused
NS 043 is only an equipment symbol for the deadhead move, not the symbol of the train represented in the movie
the original CSX unstoppable loco was crazy 8s ... loco number 8888
At The Crossing Productions no it’s the awvr trains that’s behind it
