One of the greatest changes between the book and film was changing the trains from being pulled by Diesel locomotives to Steam Engines. That shot of the smoke rising above the trees is perfect, you wouldn't have gotten that with Diesels. And beyond that, the bell, whistle, and chuffing add so much to the tension and chaos of this scene.

[@rmgilyard]

Diesels have smoke rising out of their vents too. The horn is intense, along with the rumbling and humming of the Prime Motor, that would created intensity too.

[@SalmanMentos]

Diesels can smoke too but usually on the older one since the newer ones are made for efficiency so it smokes less

I went to see this bridge (trestle ) in June 2024. It is in Northern California, close to the border with Oregon. It is closed. They put two huge cement blocks at the entrance of the bridge. I climbed those cement blocks and stood on the bridge. They removed the metal train tracks. The railroad ties are still there, but they are very old and brittle. If you notice in this video, there are only a few trees in the background. There are many, many trees (Douglas Fir ) now. It was hushed, and you could only hear the sound of birds. It is like in the movie.

[@lnicole2504]

I've seen pictures, just like you described. I bet it is so beautiful? Definitely on my bucket list.

[@itsavince7341]

I love this story. 4 young friends go on a journey in order to find a dead boy killed by a train. And they also are nearly killed by it. This just enforces the idea of the train being an actual danger and makes you imagine about how the boy was killed.

[@slavacernarus7083]

[@wordenentertainment1997]

Fun fact about the filming of this scene. The train was in a safe distance for the up-close running scenes with Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell running, but the first couple takes they weren't very scared. Director Rob Reiner literally yelled at them for not being scared and tiring out the crew pushing a camera flat car on the bridge. He yelled out if they weren't scared of the train coming after them, they better start running cause he will come after them. Next thing you know they were terrified and cut, print.

[@anniebaker6763]

Sounds like something my mom would do, that’s awesome🤣

A Catholic high school in Akron has a railroad line that runs right behind the school that goes over an old canal. A lot of students back in the 70s and 80s would use the RR trestle as a shortcut to a nearby restaurant. I think a few students died on that bridge back when it was owned by the Norfolk and Western RR. No steam engines back in those days.

[@blackholeentry3489]

I grew up in the late 40's in NE Portland, OR....right next to a canyon which the steam locomotives of the day regularly chug-chugged through....while my father had worked in the shipyards building ships for WW 2. Just about every household in the area had a 5-ton coal bin in thier front yard for thier home heater..... however, seems like ours was often empty. Mom often sent me down into the canyon with a small bucket to pick up coal which had dropped off from passing trains....and, while watching out for passing trains, I usually returned with a full bucket. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe steam trains have now become history for about 50 years....with "Flying Saucers" now becoming a real hot issue....of which I have now seen four...and, I mean up close!

For all the 'train could have slowed or stopped' commenters, don't forget this story is told through the eyes of four kids, so any amount of roar from the train seemed to them like the end of the line. Also, I doubt we'd be here 35+ years later re-watching this epic scene if the train slowed down and they casually sauntered off the tracks.

[@thatoneguy611]

Obviously it didn’t stop for cinematic reasons, but it doesn’t take away from the fact the a train this size going at this speed in real life could stop pretty quick, relatively speaking. People seem to have it drilled into their heads that all trains ever need 2 miles to stop, which may be true today with the length, weight, and speed of some of our trains, but it’s not true here.

[@michaelfornes1479]

While I don't think the train could fully stop in time, the engineer could have released the steam pressure from the pistons to start slowing. That would be a little more realistic and still maintain the suspense to the very end of the bridge.
