When the engines are in the yard, the lead unit is a GP38. Once it runs away, it becomes a 40. Also notice the GP9s are sometimes on their correct Blomberg B trucks and sometimes they are on ALCo trucks. Lol us train nerds! Either way killer movie. Sometimes when I leave for work in the morning, I put my car in neutral and just floor it in the driveway. I go tearing down the road burning off my brakes!
I love the moment manny spots the locomotive he wants, a big, dark beast emerging from the mist. Then when they wait for it to depart, the music lets you know their is something sinister about this train, that it is destined for disaster.
To all you folks talking about Al's use of notch 8 and having the reverser in neutral, let me make something perfectly clear to you. Al is a rebel, okay? He plays by his own rules. He does what he wants, when he wants. He doesn't have time for your silly speed limits and other nonsense. He's got freight to move and move it he will, at top speed. Even if it kills him.
Nice that the locomotive operator had a mattress to land on. Kidding. I just LOVE the movie. Saw it back when it was new. It already had cult status back then. I bought it on bluray a little while ago. Oh yeah. It still holds its position. The milieu, the wheather, the stunts, the setting, the acting, the music, the shooting, the editing... Flawless.
Nearly 38 years and still a Masterpiece.

These scenes are so sinister and the music does it justice.

I loved this movie as a kid and I still do.
A masterpiece movie with realistic actors & above all the music. Still remember it after 20 years
Music in this movie from starting to end is damm good enough to make this movie a masterpiece..
Probably the best ever train based movie made.
After all these years it's still a great movie
The train had a possessed look of evil. So well done.
THE BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THE HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD; IN MY OPION.
