I like the sound. To me it's the sound of a complex piece of industrial machinery at full output producing a massive amount of power. Big machines like this are a marvel of engineering.
I’ve been around them most of my life & worked around them for half my life. I definitely must agree. The best part of the job is spending up to 12 hours in the cab!
Same, I live about a mile from a BNSF line, in which about 10 freight trains pass through each day, Including 2 Amtrak Empire Builder trains. I have become so accustomed to their daily passage that I often don't even realize it when they blow their horns. Doesn't even wake me up either.
I've watched the "Unstoppable" movie a few times, and found it both exciting and enjoyable every time. I've also read a railroad book titled "Set Up Running," which details a railroader's life and the industries in the Tyrone area.
@@ezequielescoto6493 I believe I can answer your question. Tyrone is located in Pennsylvania, about two hours east of Pittsburgh and almost four hours west of Philadelphia.
@@_PJW_ I've seen parts of it, but not all the way through. It is also unfortunate to see a locomotive crash, but apparently in the early 20th century, locomotives were so plentiful they didn't think twice about smashing two of them head-first into each other for the sake of spectacle.
Which is way better than an elephant's trumpeting, the audio substituted in in the final movie. The filming efforts and cinematography were so impressive for this film, really wish they'd not added all their over-the-top Hollywood nonsense. Had they kept it realistic it would have been way better, and more suspenseful as it would be more believable.
It's not just the echoes of the 7FDL's,the incoming whining is from the traction motors at speed in correlation of the prime motors rumbling. All units do that,even the EMD units at high speed.
Dang 777 was going unstoppable speed and I love the roar of the engine at 0:54 just wish cp kept one of the units in the awvr scheme to honour the movie R.I.P tony Scott :(
Yep, Unstoppable, best train movie yet! Loved every riveting minute of it. I'm so jealous you live in the area where they filmed that. I'd have loved to watch them shoot the scenes for that movie! Of course, some of the stuff in the movie was pure hype and wouldn't happen in real life, but even so, it was still worth watching every awesome minute of it!
Not too realistic for anyone who works for the railroad. If 777 had started into that curve on the viaduct at that speed, in real life that train would’ve been airborne off it, with cars flying in every direction. Even when Denzel came thru on his consist of WLE SD40-2’s, he was operating too fast, even being engine light. Or, I should say the REAL engineer operating them, highly doubt Denzel has his certification!!
@@cliffwilkie4035 and why I had stated: "a lot of the movie was pure HYPE", Never would have happened in real life, but the hype did make it more interesting.😉 I come from a long line of railroaders, uncles that were brakemen, conductors and engineers. One uncle was an engineer on the C&O during the transistion from steam to diesel, he was so fascinated with the new diesels, he transferred from being an Engineer to a Diesel Mechanic for the rest of his career on the C&O. My grandfather and father worked on the L&N for a short time, as did a few other relatives(long term), some worked for the C&O, others on the L&N until they retired from their respective railroad. So, I'm no stranger to trains and railroads.
Many towns in 1800's America had the railroads right of way in place before the town itself was finished. The main road would run on or beside the railroad tracks so as to have the depot in the center of town! A few towns still have this set up today, search railroad street running an you will find examples. The trains would normally not travel at this speed but for the purposes of filming the street has been closed off. In some towns the tracks are even embedded in the road tarmac itself.
One, I love the sound of a train flyby, Two, that thing was MOVING, more than it looked like. O.O I see trains all the time where I live, and trust me, that thing was going pretty quick. :D
The railroad was built here over 100 years ago, when the traffic was horse drawn waggons and buggies. No cars, no crossing signals except a guy with a kerosene lantern waving it back and forth. Most of the buildings and houses were not here either. Just a small town back then and everyone depended on the railroad to deliver everything they needed to live and to transport them anywhere else. There weren't buses, airplanes, trucks or cars then. So those of you who think the builders just put it there in the middle of the road need to look back farther in the past than your own grade school days.
Must’ve been after one of the first collisions in the movie. The lead unit had a busted ditchlight on the Engineer’s side & the front pilot of the engine was stove up pretty good. I’m sure the Canadian Pacific shop that handled these 4 units (they were run in 2 unit consists in the movie) after returning from the filming of Unstoppable had their work cut out for them, before they headed to the paint shop to be painted back to CP’s scheme. CP owns these units in real life.
Incase of any unstoppable trains, try these steps. 1. Use some help from police. *But what if the train is driverless?* 2. Remove some pieces of track. *But what if the train moves so fast it doesn't collapse or anything?* 3. Put up a huge hole on train tracks (also remove the tracks on the hole) *But what if the train has magical properties?* 4. Tell gandalf to say his famous line towards the train *But what if the train is immune to them?* 5. If the train passes each of those 4, put a nokia on the tracks. Remember to put the nokia *_VERY_* carefully or the earth might get huge cracks. As the train hits the nokia, there will be a huge crater but that defeats even the mightiest train powers.
even a simpler solutions if train is driverless... 1 Have a couple of A-10 Thunderbolt II use the runaway train as target practice. 2 a couple of 777 howitzers put a whole lot of steel down on the train. 3 a couple of M1A2 Abrams use the locomotive for target practice. those options would stop a train on a dime.
there are 4 CP's ac4400cws that is repainted for the movie. They are #9751 #9777 #9782 #9752 and 3 of them still left the snow plow that is paint from the movie except for #9777.
@ltlman692 The engineer was in the follow locomotive; 767. There are a fair number of close-up shots of 777's cab throughout the film (to show that it was "unmanned"), so to avoid accidentally filming the engineer, he drove the train from the second locomotive. The film crew attached a camera to the rear bulkhead of 777's cab so that the engineer could see where he was going.
Wow seems the tracks have been upgraded alot since the late 1980's when I last saw a train there. Seems the allowable speed has been increased quite a bit.
Unstoppable my ass... Give me a cutting torch and about 10 minutes on those rails and I can stop that thing in a huge cloud of dust and twisted metal........
rico334 well, if the train is really loaded with chemical compound and you dont mind endangering thousands of lives, then, i suggest you continue with what you are planning
the movie is called unstoppable. the places where the movie was shot, locals did not have a lot of info and mistook it for an actual runaway train untill the movie released. to the answer of your query, check out the plot of the movie from youtube>
That happened when it hit the horse trailer in the previous scene. But it is a continuity error, as the scene after this one, the other light is broken instead.
The longest the train ever gets without leaving any out is actually 25, but here they took five off for speed purposes. But some shots in the movie show the whole train, count up there's 25.
Even though having a run-away train is unfortunate, it’s really not, apparently, uncommon. There’s a video of a news report about a an unmanned train going through Regina. Just watch Runaway train rolls through Regina on The National

I really know this already. However, if you choose to leave a comment stating the obvious, I will take it as your attempt at being funny. Looks like someone found a nice residential street and said, Hey why don't we lay some freight train tracks down the middle here? lol
They have the same thing in Burlington NJ (though the freight train doesn't come through until after 10:30 when the passenger "RiverLine" train has stopped running for the night).
Yeah in PA it is, and I never really thought it was any different until just now and realized most other places I've been to I never see the tracks run parrallel with the road. If your ever in this state, watch it cuz in the small towns they usually dont have gates come down for trains, just the blinking red lights and the bell.
Trains are loud... even if they are going 5mph... they shake the ground, rattle windows... rumble hiss, squeak and grind.. Metal wheels on metal tracks without even the lower noise that transport trains have because they have rubber dampers pressed into the wheel rims..
In Waxhaw, NC is like that train tracks right through the middle of town and we have about 5 trains a day with double tracks. It’s very soothing at night but after awhile you don’t even notice it at all.
I’ve seen video of one of our trains making about 50-55. This train wasn’t even close to that. They didn’t even hit 40 in this video. I’d guess about 35 max.
If you actually knew what went through rural America on Rail Cars the public would be outraged ! a lot of the things that are transported by rail that are questionable is done under cover of darkness / early morning hours ect.
Tool19672 OH bull shit, the rails are safe, this is Hollywood, stop acting like movies are real life, you damn white collars wouldn't know a damn thing about a railroad, tree huggers!
There is an emergency fuel cutoff switch on the side of the locomotive, but you have to hold it down for several seconds before the engine is starved of fuel. In the CSX 8888 incident, they actually tried shooting at this button to stop the train (which didn't work, of course). Once you've managed to get aboard, you might as well go to the cab and throttle the engines off anyway.
There’s also a similar fuel cutoff button in the cab. This is how engineers (& mechanical personnel) usually shut units down when they’re going to be parked for extended periods. Locomotives use only water for their cooling systems (can’t use antifreeze), so they can only be shut down when temps remain above 40 degrees.
With the 8888 incident, that wouldn’t have necessarily been effective, even if they did manage to shut the power down in that manner. If the train was moving on a downhill grade, shutting the units down isn’t going stop the train, if the automatic & independent brakes are cut in & fully released.
Also, there’s many safeguards to prevent runaways. Any Engineer who knows what the hell they’re doing will ensure that these procedures are followed, when securing a train & leaving it unattended. I will need to read up more on the 8888 incident to see exactly what happened, but it is something that definitely should never have happened!
@markandrews6 how about you have no clue on speed when it comes to trains i have lived around them my entire life the normal speed for trains on these rails is 15 mph and i have seen amtraks in excess of 75 mph on main lines so think again before you make dumbass comments when you have no clue
looks as if they were pulling a bit of a grade, maybe it was the camera angle but still awesome to see them all notched up hard and blasting. great vid, thanks for sharing.
Much worse for a small town is when the train stops running! It is the life blood of most of them. My uncle lost his grain elevator business when they shut down the 2 track line to Kenton Ohio. 1970’s.
im with you.. i grew up in glasgow, montana.... same line that goes up threw the marias pass runs their glasgow... when i moved to missoula not hearing the train horn at night makes me feel as if soemthing is wrong
Here's my development idea, lets build our town and houses as close as we can to the train tracks so that we will never get to sleep or anything hang anything on the walls because they will just rattle right off
Just Dewey getting off the engine while it’s moving to get a switch lined against his movement is a HUGE rule violation that an engineer can get fired for in real life. Let alone letting his train get away from him.
if you ever see something like "petticoat junction", it means the town was named after where the main rail line split to go to 2 or more cities from that one line. Passengers would use that small town to connect to other trains. Of course while they wait for the next train, they want lodging, food, and etc, therefore a demand cause people to create a supply: the town.
in my book the invention of the train is 3rd best invention,bested only by the airplane and automobile...gotta love trains,the sound of the tracks settling,metal on metal sound,the breeze from a passing train,the size,power and mystic...love them trains...roll on!
Alright fellas Y’know what we need to do. Let’s all go in on starting a railroad company & name it this. We’ll use the same paint schemes & everything!
Ugh, that ghostly howl as it powers by at speed.... I always get chills listening to that; like a powerful mechanical phantom of sorts.
I like the sound. To me it's the sound of a complex piece of industrial machinery at full output producing a massive amount of power. Big machines like this are a marvel of engineering.

Steve true..
In Waxhaw, NC is like that train tracks right through the middle of town and we have about 5 trains a day with double tracks. It’s very soothing at night but after awhile you don’t even notice it at all.
I wish AWVR was a real railroad
Double Ex-Canadian Pacific GE AC4400CW
It was always CP. The movie company leased it, and the engines in this video are still CP.
Cool video! Looks like the gate barely gets down at 0:50 before train is in intersection. A little tight?
General Electric AC4400CWs?
yes
Yes, it is. My friend.
She's gonna blow, run for the hills ma barker
i say the train was hitting 55 by the end of this shot
I’ve seen video of one of our trains making about 50-55. This train wasn’t even close to that. They didn’t even hit 40 in this video. I’d guess about 35 max.
Great video of 777 only thing missing was Denzel on top of the railcar.
A Train loaded with all kinds of chemicals right thru the middle of the little town is there a problem with that or what?
this was filmed for the movie
If you actually knew what went through rural America on Rail Cars the public would be outraged ! a lot of the things that are transported by rail that are questionable is done under cover of darkness / early morning hours ect.
what about refineries? tanker trucks? gas line? factories?
Does DuPont and India ring a bell?
Tool19672 OH bull shit, the rails are safe, this is Hollywood, stop acting like movies are real life, you damn white collars wouldn't know a damn thing about a railroad, tree huggers!
There is an emergency fuel cutoff switch on the side of the locomotive, but you have to hold it down for several seconds before the engine is starved of fuel. In the CSX 8888 incident, they actually tried shooting at this button to stop the train (which didn't work, of course).
Once you've managed to get aboard, you might as well go to the cab and throttle the engines off anyway.
There’s also a similar fuel cutoff button in the cab. This is how engineers (& mechanical personnel) usually shut units down when they’re going to be parked for extended periods. Locomotives use only water for their cooling systems (can’t use antifreeze), so they can only be shut down when temps remain above 40 degrees.
With the 8888 incident, that wouldn’t have necessarily been effective, even if they did manage to shut the power down in that manner. If the train was moving on a downhill grade, shutting the units down isn’t going stop the train, if the automatic & independent brakes are cut in & fully released.
Also, there’s many safeguards to prevent runaways. Any Engineer who knows what the hell they’re doing will ensure that these procedures are followed, when securing a train & leaving it unattended. I will need to read up more on the 8888 incident to see exactly what happened, but it is something that definitely should never have happened!
Yo Dawg, dat aint look like my boy tyrone
Long dick style
Love The Movie! Awesome in IRL! Was this for the Movie Scene? If so Awesome Catch Man!
@markandrews6 how about you have no clue on speed when it comes to trains i have lived around them my entire life the normal speed for trains on these rails is 15 mph and i have seen amtraks in excess of 75 mph on main lines so think again before you make dumbass comments when you have no clue
How to stop any train
THROW FREAKING NOKIA 3311S AT IT
Great video quality!!! Which camera did you use to shoot?
He didn't blow his whistle.
+menslady125 If you don't notice a diesel locomotive coming down the road, you shouldn't be driving!
Paul Langford
Hey! Let's not get nasty! That's not what I meant. What, was this guy in some stupid "no horn zone"?
+menslady125 yup, most definitely that's what it is.
laid07
I hate those.

Oh....I don't recall seeing that movie.
is This When They Makeing It
I think so.
Yes because I saw the movie 3 times in a row
Amtrak Railfan No, the movie was based off this. This is a true story
it isn't, AWVR is not a real company, CP locomotives we're repainted for this, it was really based of the
CSX 8888 accident
InfiniteGaming You're a dumb ass.
looks as if they were pulling a bit of a grade, maybe it was the camera angle but still awesome to see them all notched up hard and blasting. great vid, thanks for sharing.
and tyrone and the area where the apartments in the background used to be a coaling yard many mny years ago
Much worse for a small town is when the train stops running! It is the life blood of most of them. My uncle lost his grain elevator business when they shut down the 2 track line to Kenton Ohio. 1970’s.
This movie was amazing, I saw it twice and im gonna buy it when it comes out
Imagine the train was going at mach 5 be like:
LOL. Look at the exhaust towards the start of this video. That "unstoppable train" sure was pulling hard to keep going.
No way, the ATCUAL UNSTOPPABLE TRAIN!?
Everyone witnessing/recording these scenes makes the movie better, more believable, higher suspense and more realistic
They built the town around the track, that's how it's always done throughout the world, the track brings trade.
im with you.. i grew up in glasgow, montana.... same line that goes up threw the marias pass runs their glasgow... when i moved to missoula not hearing the train horn at night makes me feel as if soemthing is wrong
Cool, what was the day and year and month?
Awesome vid I love the movie and its cool to see it before they put it into the movie.
Make way, boys, the beast is comin' through
I am 500th subscriber
Trains going through a town like that usually don’t go that fast
Despite puke-inducing cinematography, excellent training. Cheers!
Damn, no airhorns, that is really bad news!
framfull when there is nobody inside, there is no horn
framfull when there is nobody inside, there is no horn
Thanks, Stump.
Why no horn for the crossings?
Quiet Zone?
Here's my development idea, lets build our town and houses as close as we can to the train tracks so that we will never get to sleep or anything hang anything on the walls because they will just rattle right off
THats a wild design there. Train right down the middle of the road? dang.
Train tracks, much more effective than double white lines!
Just Dewey getting off the engine while it’s moving to get a switch lined against his movement is a HUGE rule violation that an engineer can get fired for in real life. Let alone letting his train get away from him.
if you ever see something like "petticoat junction", it means the town was named after where the main rail line split to go to 2 or more cities from that one line. Passengers would use that small town to connect to other trains. Of course while they wait for the next train, they want lodging, food, and etc, therefore a demand cause people to create a supply: the town.
blasting, its crawling
in my book the invention of the train is 3rd best invention,bested only by the airplane and automobile...gotta love trains,the sound of the tracks settling,metal on metal sound,the breeze from a passing train,the size,power and mystic...love them trains...roll on!
Alright fellas Y’know what we need to do. Let’s all go in on starting a railroad company & name it this. We’ll use the same paint schemes & everything!
Cool
That's an extremely short train. The movie certainly led you to believe it was longer.
Yes. What was funny was that they portrayed 39 cars as long, while NS H76 and some other local freights are literally that length sometimes.
