Runaway Train (1985) - Signal Maintainer 40

[@gh9111]

The filming was magnificent, the music was fantastic, and the actors were top notch. The train was so ominous like it was possessed.

Exactly. The train sounds are incredible, especially in that part at the end where the maintainer sees the engineer.

@@Jack_The_Ripper_Here I saw this as a kid. Still unsettled me seeing this today. I think it was the front of the train all wrecked. I mean... I watched unstoppable and that was a good train movie. But this one ... maybe it is the cold or something ... but it does seem more scary

The shot at 2:58 ALWAYS GIVES ME CHILLS. I fucking love this movie, such a simple concept, but literally runs with said concept and it turns out beautiful. One thing that always attracted me to it, was 2 things, 1: how dystopian it feels, once the runaway is out on the mainline, nothing but rocks, trees, and snow. 2: how dully painted the locomotives are, they look so worn and rusty, they aren't special, just regular workhorses, possibly due for the cutters torch, these two things add so much to the film for me. The music is a whole other awesome discussion

I spoke to a person who works in the railroad industry and apparently trains derail a lot more often than you think and a derailment usually just grinds the train to a halt.

At the movie end, I wonder if the lead engine would stay upright if it did derail since there would be no possibility of jack knifing from other cars.

[@JuanGamer0202]

Yea they just come to a halt because normaly trains go by 20 or 30 MPH, but a consist like this in the movie flying by would be deadly if it got of tracks, you can notice how bad it is at the moment they talk about it roling down at the Chimics Lab later on.

No way would his job title be 'Signal Maintainer' The title would be Infrastructure Operative or Estate Asset Manager or Field Environment Control Assurance Technician. And there wouldn't be as many as 40 either. For a railway that size there'd be five of them with two positions vacant for three years. And he's an old guy so they wouldn't replace him when he retires or gets made redundant because the asset strippers don't want to waste profits on any maintenance. Sorry, asset management.

The GP9's number is 812, doesn't mean that railroad has 811 other locomotives before it. Numbers are just numbers. But yeah, I get your point on the names.

40 would refer to the section, or "district", the maintainer was responsible for overseeing. Many railroads would also give their signal "districts" names. And "signal maintainer" is the title used for such a position, even to this day.

As I recall the General Code of Operating Rules, either the "grade crossing" sequence (long, long, short, long) or a series of short blasts can be used as a general warning when you're not approaching a highway crossing. My guess would be that Hollywood (or their railroad consultant/advisor for the film) chose the 'grade crossing' sequence because it's more familiar to the average person.

So this was 4 engines linked together right, no passengers, just a few conductors? While their lives aren't meaningless, if the trains really are runaway and can't be stopped, isn't it still better to derail them? Derailing them here your what, putting a half dozen lives or so at risk (from what we seen in this clip anyway). But if those runaways was to meet another train coming the opposite direction, or derail in a populated area, you could be putting hundreds at risk.
