Ok this movie was great in all but there could’ve been many ways to stop the runaway. 1. When 643/4820 was connected to the rear of the train, one of the workers could’ve radio in Wally and his conductor to go the first car of the train and have them disconnected it and let the two locomotives run down the summit and let the train derail causing less threat to Denver. 2. When The 643 rammed 642 from behind they could’ve went to the gondola that had the air hose that was disconnected and hook it back up and had one of the guys set the breaks on the cars causing the rest of the train to slow down and let the two locomotives run down the grade and derail. But that’s just my option tho🤷‍♀️

Nice movie, but (a bit too unrealistic) they chose like the worst method to try and slow/stop the train. When the rear locos got attached to the runaway, one crew member from the front could just go to the second engine, and do what the protagonist did (by wrecking the second loco's wires or what with a crowbar, so they started to slow down at jackson summit), and the train would came to a halt. Or when the rear locos got coupled up, the crew in the lead, could put the front engines into reverse, or just detach those 2 locomotives, jump to the freight cars, and let the rear locos stop the train, while the lead engines would just fly off the tracks in one of the curves. Or even when they are at the top of the hill, they were going so slow that they could easily uncouple the lead locos and let the cars stop.

Whin did alcos start sounding like emds I know some have bin changed out.

[@dennisb9157]

The MLW (Montreal Locomotive Works) took over rebuilding and up-keep of existing ALCO diesels after ALCO went bankrupt and GE bought them out. The MLW was really good at locomotive building and their units looked like ALCOs but sounded like EMDs. That is just how they were manufactured by MLW.

Im glad im not the only one who noticed that. Sounds like a emd 645 turbo or even a 710

This train in the movie is scary.

[@LogicalHats]

Wait I just relized just go in reverse and apply thorttle so the motors spin in the other dirrection. That will slowdown the train.

[@jamesleopard8518]

In 5:48 lock that car coupler right away!!!!

[@mattsmocs3281]

Whole issue could have been solved if they cut the locomotive fuel with the emergency stop and used the hand brakes

[@SledPrn6]

Sounds similar to the movie Final Run, well the cut the fuel part atleast

You know how it’s not slow down well because the kids were grabbing a rock and they threw it’s at the train that’s why because the power burn the fire the power was connected to the wheels that’s how

[@jacobrail501]

I Wonder what kind of Traction motor sounds they use for 642 12:19

[@MilwaukeeRoadJames]

GE sounds

[@magicalintel5867]

They would've decoupled the.west rail engines and the 4920 would have slowed down
