3 years ago, a guy was saying that most of the comments were jokes about Thomas The Tank Engine but now most of the comments are about how great this scene is (i agree). Lovely to see everything back to normal, as it should.
It was filmed at a time when there were plenty of surplus steam locomotives and obsolete rollingstock available for wrecking. All of the locomotives in the movie would have been in service during the 1940's. Very realistic portrayal of French railway operations after D-day with the Germans in full retreat.
Well...not quite all of them. The film does include a number of 141Rs in the background at certain points, and those weren't delivered until 1945; and there's at least one shot of a USATC S100 tank engine there as well. Not sure if they were strictly in service in France until after liberation, but I just thought I'd put it out there.
I loved the movie and train wreck scenes are without peer, but it's also is kind of sad to see the such magnificent engines meet their final fate. At least they made it to film for posterity.
I saw this movie when it hit the theaters in 1964. I am giving away my age here. A great movie, really entertaining, although it did have some sad scenes. Burt was fantastic, and the train scenes were wonderful.
What a well shot sequence of scenes. I ache to see such completeness in today's movies. They make up for the lack of direction, camerwork and editing with big budgets, 4KHD and intense music. People really do work better under constraints.
Scenes filmed in Normandy near Pacy sur Eure (27) in Heudreville sur Eure and the collision in the Acquigny station on the old line which went to Louviers and Rouen.
@@Jake_Josh It was a cost factor back in those days. Just like today.. people will ask, do I need to spend more money for 5G? 4G works fine for less money.
You can watch it on multiple levels - a hell of a war movie and a train movie and a great example of how teams can both work together or against each other. Plus for me as a former supervisor, the end scene is a cautionary tale about management skills. Sometimes no matter how important you think a goal is, yelling and screaming ain't gonna get you there.
French actor Albert Remy, portraying Didont, is the one who uncouples the engine and tender from the rest of the train while moving, a very dangerous stunt he bravely performed himself rather than have a stunt double do it for him.
I'm a retired railroader (freight train service) and watching Albert Remy go through the motions of uncoupling a moving passenger car from the locomotive raises the hair on my neck! Especially when you consider the difficulty of doing it with European type couplers (the knuckle type coupler as used in North America and elsewhere would have been far easier to uncouple) One slip in the middle and he would have been done for. Indeed, he "bravely performed" "a very dangerous stunt."

Frankenheimer had the total French State Railways cooperation for this and it shows, this a masterpiece thanks to that and his skills as a film director. All the actors are good not only the superb Burt Lancaster, this movie is a real treat.
Yeah, interesting and exiting all the way through. The tendency in Modern Films is to be more historically accurate. often, that's at the expense of being entertained.

@@TheBrickGuy7939James:Dont blame me,blame those 2 people that tossed the conductor out of my cab and uncoupled my train,I told them to stop me but they acted like they didn’t hear me
@@SparkProps Yeah because the technique of building life sized mock ups and model wreck scenes that look as realistic as possible didn't have momentum yet. These locomotives were heading for scrap so they decided to actually crash them.
@@SparkProps Oh yeah. Though there wasn't really any "wrong" way of doing this scene. The point is the art train rams into another derailed locomotive and having its journey ended completely. It didn't really matter how far the train went or if it tipped on its side or not. Though there was a risk of cameras getting destroyed and staff getting hit.
The town where this crash was filmed was massively insured and shut down, with all the gas, electric and water switched off for the duration of the filming !!
Fantastic film. Watched this for the first time over Christmas ages ago. The great escape was on the other side, a film dad was fed up of watching again and again. So we watched this. No regrets.
Great climactic scene! John Frankenheimer was one hell of a film maker! 'The train' is one of his best. Unbelievable action sequences, great storyboarding, brilliant editing, acting & cinematography! Dare I say, it even surpasses all the CG generated crap that come out these days.
They used real locomotives that the French train system was going to retire from service. In another scene, to replicate an air raid, they blew up an entire marshaling yard that was slated for demolition anyways.
I saw this movie twice the first week that it was in theaters and I still have a VHS copy so that I can re-watch it every year or so. What grabbed me was the pacing--it starts off slowly but continuously gains momentum. Sort of like a train.
Да, все круто, но, при отцепке вагонов, в них должны были сработать тормоза и они бы остановились, а не катились дальше, там же видно было что рукава тормозной магистрали соединены были, ну то такое обывателю оно никчему
Love this film its a masterpiece of acting and cinematography. Lancaster does all his own stunts. Many many awards. Its a must have on DVD. But funny part is they messed up the editing. At 2:30 in this clip you see an engineer at the helm of the runaway train as it goes across the bridge. That's the Train Burt earlier fire walled the throttle and jumped off so it crashes at the terminal. No one was on it. Understood though.... it was a massive production so many huge takes and camera's and massive production values. Quite a feat for its day. Worth it though. Amazing movie.
1:35---the scene where Labiche gets shot wasn't in the script. What happened was Burt Lancaster hurt his knee while playing golf on a day off and started walking with a noticeable limp. Not wanting to delay filming, John Frankenheimer rewrote the scene to where Labiche gets shot in the knee while he was escaping, thereby allowing the production to be completed as scheduled.
Lancaster hurt his knee while playing golf? He jumps off a driving train,he fall very hard to the ground while he get shot at......but he hurt his knee while playing golf??? WTF????

Just snagged this from TCM a week or so ago. I saw The Train with my parents when I was nine years old and too young to appreciate it but I certainly do now.
Hope you were watching Mr Spielberg,this was how to do it.From start to finish,this is a brilliant film...Remy uncoupling,and Lancaster jumping from the footplate were stunning shots,and as for the crash,....well that will never be beaten in todays Cinema ....Wonderful Film.
There will absol. Positively NEVER be an equal to Burt Lancaster, and the SkiLLed, Creative Talent they exploited artistically to make films in them days. (i was only 2) but saw it in teens. This one is a keeper.
1:10 regulator opened full. God help anything in the way of this locomotive! A great movie, very well acted and hugey popular for train buffs (SNCF or otherwise)
I can't believe I never saw this before. Great cast, and very interesting scenes for train lovers. It's always a thrill to see the French Resistance in action You don't have to have color film and high-tech special effects to have an exciting movie. This is now one of my favorite WWII movies.
No one was hurt, but Sir Topham Hatt was cross, he said "You have been derailed by a bad reason! You shall stay in the mud for all and all and all! Edward shall take over your position." James said "Okay Sir Topham Hatt sir, i feel ashamed." The End. [Episode 4, Season 89] Thomas and Friends
One thing I've just noticed that is 'wrong' about this scene is that if you look at 0:38 you will distinctly see the vacuum pipes from the engine to the rest of the train, the vacuum being what keeps the brakes from applying while the train is in motion. When the engine decouples the vacuum pipes will disconnect too, vacuum is lost and the trucks all apply their brakes automatically, coming to an immediate halt. They wouldn't free wheel for miles like they are shown doing.
"Vacuum Pipes" are a British Railways Braking System. Most of the rest of the world used the Westinghouse Air Brake System, where Positive Pressure compressed air charged the individual brake cylinders in passenger and freight Cars, and by controlling the train line air pressure, one could apply or release the brakes in the train and engine. Similarly, a break in a train pipe continuity, such as a detached air hose coupling, would immediately automatically engaged the brakes on the separated convoy... The Westinghouse System was more " fail safe" that the British Vacuum Brake System.
@@astridvallati4762 Not actually true, the automatic vacuum brake system also applied the brakes if the train split in two and was also "fail safe". This did not happen with the early "simple" vacuum system or indeed the first Westinghouse air brakes, which worked the opposite way round. Both of these were outlawed in Britain after the Armagh train crash of 1889.
These are railroad men that understood how the brakes work. There was a huge amount of planning that went into this job -- new signs, switching, etc. Given the amount of thought they gave this, you would think they would have also disabled the fail-safe brake system.
@@petermott2411 Good point. Indeed it would be simple not to energise the continuous fail-safe braking system at all. In Britain, for example, it was legally compulsory for passenger trains but not for freight trains, and most goods trains were worked on engine steam brake and tender handbrake alone. But in that case the vacuum pipes would not need to be connected in the first place, so 0:38 looks like a subtle continuity error.
They could of bottled the air by closing the valve on the cars to trap the air instead of leaving it open and dumping the air. It's something you NEVER really wanna do but it's sometimes done in run arounds (Taking the engine from the front of the consist and running it to the back) to save time on building air pressure when you cut the engine back in but yeah without hand brakes if you bottle the air them cars are gonna go wherever they wanna go.
Then there was trouble. James had just derailed on Ducks runaway line and both Duck’s driver and fireman had jumped clear. Duck went crash straight into James. Luckily nobody died but Sir Topham was very angry with James and Duck. Soon Thomas arrived with the breakdown train and got James and Duck back on the track.
J'habite juste à côté où le film à été tourné, et rien que pour le plaisir, il m'arrive de passé sur ces ponts, qui ont servis au tournage du film, et bien sûr la ville de rive reine qui en faite la ville d'Acquigny dans le département de l'Eure...un décor toujours existant...
This movie SO impressed me as a kid I'm actually coming to Acquigny in April from the USA to to see, in person, where this amazing movie was shot. Google earth shows a foot bridge over the Eure River not far from the abandoned rail bridge over the same. Is that the bridge Burt got 'shot' on?
So, something to note about this film is that it was shot during a time period where black-and-white films were really starting to be phased out: in the DVD commentary John Frankenheimer called it one of the last major action films to be shot in black and white, which he felt really added to the intensity of the scenes.
10/10 Film EPIC! In the following after this one one Camera man was almost killed in the wreck seen when a derailed wagon rolled farther than expected and almost hit him in his safe position in a bunker
If you want to visit the site of the Train crash it is in a small French town of Acquigny on the A154, 24 miles south of Rouen, the station is still there also the small Hotel where Burt Lancaster and Jeanne Moreau had a few moments, although it is now a private house. The area around the station is now a small industrial site. But you can visit the station although now boarded up. It is very clear on Google earth.
Me: *Summons a red dome around myself and Edward* James: *Crashes into the dome* Me: *Feels my soul crack, coughs out blood and falls onto the tracks* Chara: Frisk! *Supports me* Are you okay, big sis?!
James was puffing down the line until he saw HENRY WAD IN HIS WAY, AHHHH James cried and slammed on the breaks, but it was to late 2:50 *Thomas crash theme*

The Westinghouse System was more " fail safe" that the British Vacuum Brake System.
@@astridvallati4762 Not actually true, the automatic vacuum brake system also applied the brakes if the train split in two and was also "fail safe". This did not happen with the early "simple" vacuum system or indeed the first Westinghouse air brakes, which worked the opposite way round. Both of these were outlawed in Britain after the Armagh train crash of 1889.
These are railroad men that understood how the brakes work. There was a huge amount of planning that went into this job -- new signs, switching, etc.
Given the amount of thought they gave this, you would think they would have also disabled the fail-safe brake system.
@@petermott2411 Good point. Indeed it would be simple not to energise the continuous fail-safe braking system at all. In Britain, for example, it was legally compulsory for passenger trains but not for freight trains, and most goods trains were worked on engine steam brake and tender handbrake alone. But in that case the vacuum pipes would not need to be connected in the first place, so 0:38 looks like a subtle continuity error.
They could of bottled the air by closing the valve on the cars to trap the air instead of leaving it open and dumping the air. It's something you NEVER really wanna do but it's sometimes done in run arounds (Taking the engine from the front of the consist and running it to the back) to save time on building air pressure when you cut the engine back in but yeah without hand brakes if you bottle the air them cars are gonna go wherever they wanna go.

Edward: Oh dear... Where's Thomas when we need him....
James: Help! I can't stop!
James crashes to Edward
Edward: What the flip James!
Me: Oh my goodness! I-I’ll call the Search and Rescue Center. *Takes phone and calls the Search and Rescue Center*
one of the greatest movies ever
Then there was trouble. James had just derailed on Ducks runaway line and both Duck’s driver and fireman had jumped clear. Duck went crash straight into James. Luckily nobody died but Sir Topham was very angry with James and Duck. Soon Thomas arrived with the breakdown train and got James and Duck back on the track.
Just watched this again today for about the tenth time , absolutely brilliant film,bonus it was on bbc2 so no ad breaks ,
0:09 When my girlfriend tries to wake me up
LOL
Relatable xD
I-
Why did they throw him out?

Wow what shooting in those years! Cool! Even now you will not see much of this on the screens, only computer graphics!
“You’re a very silly engine” Said The Fat Controller “you’ll have to stay in the shed
I love the way the water sloshes out of the tender...
J'habite juste à côté où le film à été tourné, et rien que pour le plaisir, il m'arrive de passé sur ces ponts, qui ont servis au tournage du film, et bien sûr la ville de rive reine qui en faite la ville d'Acquigny dans le département de l'Eure...un décor toujours existant...
This movie SO impressed me as a kid I'm actually coming to Acquigny in April from the USA to to see, in person, where this amazing movie was shot. Google earth shows a foot bridge over the Eure River not far from the abandoned rail bridge over the same. Is that the bridge Burt got 'shot' on?
So, something to note about this film is that it was shot during a time period where black-and-white films were really starting to be phased out: in the DVD commentary John Frankenheimer called it one of the last major action films to be shot in black and white, which he felt really added to the intensity of the scenes.
99% of the comments are Thomas and friends 1% of the comments are regular...
VintageProductions I know right
Angry A4 Pacific it doesn't matter, people are just joking around and having fun.
I've seen the movie a dozen times in my life so I have no gripe. Von Ryan's Express was no better than this in my opinion.
“Marvellous” said the fat controller
What the hellllll
2:55 “luckily no one was hurt”
Well that train ain’t going back to tidmouth sheds
Just no...
Ethan It can't cause Tidmouth sheds have been bombed by the Luftwaffe.
This was made before the show was made
@ethan You got that right!! (I have Marklin & they are TOOO expensive to wreck!!)
@@tisstufffilms7006 about 20 years before
can't believe this was made in 1964
just look at those camera angles!!!
10/10 Film EPIC! In the following after this one one Camera man was almost killed in the wreck seen when a derailed wagon rolled farther than expected and almost hit him in his safe position in a bunker
If you want to visit the site of the Train crash it is in a small French town of Acquigny on the A154, 24 miles south of Rouen, the station is still there also the small Hotel where Burt Lancaster and Jeanne Moreau had a few moments, although it is now a private house. The area around the station is now a small industrial site. But you can visit the station although now boarded up. It is very clear on Google earth.
This video has inspired my son to make a Lego recreation of the wreck
Matt Flynn. Thats Cool Mate. Bet He Does A Good Job Too.
Matt Flynn could I see it?
@@TheCreepersGood no.
They actually did the deja vu train drifting meme for the first time
0:06 He hit that guy so hard in the testacles! Poor man!
Terrific underated movie...BURT LANCASTER...at his best.
James the red engine: GET OUT OF THE WAY Edward: I CANT!!!!!
Thomas Thomas DUDE, *STOP*
Thomas Thomas STOP
Me: *Summons a red dome around myself and Edward*
James: *Crashes into the dome*
Me: *Feels my soul crack, coughs out blood and falls onto the tracks*
Chara: Frisk! *Supports me* Are you okay, big sis?!
1:38 He had something in his right hand that he left on the hand railing. A rag for his hand for when he was to fall after being shot?
That was Labiche’s cap that he was wearing to keep the cinders out of his hair.
James was puffing down the line until he saw HENRY WAD IN HIS WAY, AHHHH James cried and slammed on the breaks, but it was to late 2:50 *Thomas crash theme*
Lol
Henry is a 5MT Black Five
What raw and real stunt work that was! Real stuff!
