I think the sound was metal bending from the train colliding with the cars, but also they might have used the sound effect to make the train seem more menacing.
The lead loco is GP40 ARR 3010, still in service, second the F is ARR 1500, at the alaska transport museum, third GP7 ARR 1810, was sold to Oregon Pacific, and then SFGX in Kansas. It is now mated to a slug This loco also starred in the 1992 steven seagal movie under siege 2 . fourth GP7 ARR 1801 was renumbered 1800 & sold to Missouri central railroad, and later Respondek rail corp of Granite city, Illinois.
I guess that's real train, but the last flatbed and caboose are made of materials lighter and weaker, like wood, or the locomotive set will derail, and the movie will over directly.
I find it hard to believe that there would not have been a derailment. It seems to me that the locomotives hitting the mass and wieght of the cabooses trucks would knock the engines off the rails.
The units in this film are ARR GP40-2 3005, ARR F9A 1500 (Now in Arizona on a tourist Train), ARR 1801 (Sold to Missouri Central as 1800, Now Respondek 1800 switching an Ethanol Plant in Sauget, IL) and ARR 1810. These units were renumbered for the film as "300" "500" "810" and "801"
" Run a way train " One of my all time favorite movies! I like the scene where at the end they run off the end of the line. NO matter what job your have push a mop or be a professional of any sort, take it with dignity. F-1
The runaway train drove through a switch which was open for the side rail without derailing. Try that with any train in real life (or try it with a toy train) and you end up with a derailment. Such acts which defy the laws of physics seem so common in movies with trains that it doesn't surprise me at all.
Hello, the train is hauled by ALCo MRS - 1, this is the military designation. ALCo called them RSX - 4. They built 83 of this units for the US Army. Later a few units were sold to short lines and a few went for service on the Alaska Railroad. They were built in 1953, had a 12 cylinder 244 engine rated at 1600 hp. 50 locos were equipped with steam generators for passenger car heating.
by the way I am Argentinian but I translate it to English and the first time I saw him I was a little boy of 3 years who could not write train, and now that I watch the video he gave me nostalgia
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! since i saw it on tv a few years ago, i've been wondering what the name was and all, thanks for uploading and providing the name.
This scene from the movie gives me goosebumps and seeing the wreck and damage on the front of the lead locomotive only added to the deathlike nature of the train itself.
Alaska Railroad owned all the locomotives. Somewhere I heard the GP40-2 still operates up there, and the GP7's at least were active until recently. Dont know if they still are.
Dynamic brake blisters don't always distinguish the difference between GP-7 and GP-9s, unless you refer to Lionel Geeps. (They also seem to call a chop nose GP-7 a GP-20!). Only a few GP-7s had dynamics, though. Most GP-9s did have them. Two units on the runaway are GP-9s, unit on the freight is an ALCO of some sort.
This is my favorite part of the movie. One thing they did mess up on is at about 1:11 & half is that you see the caboose like already gone into the sideing. and at 1:13 during the impact the freight isn't even moveing. but like I said THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART, I don't mean anything bad about the movie.
I love how the "Runaway train" (extremely unlikely these days) is completely fine as it smashes through a good 4 or 5 train cars, but the ones that were hit completely f*cking disintegrated. Also unlikely was that the "crawling" train wasn't yanked back by the sheer force of the train smashing into it's tail, seeing that a train is rather like a piece of string. Hollywood magic at its best!
I remember when that was shot in Alaska....on the Alaska Railroad....I use to ride on the #1602 MRS-1 when I was young.....long live the old diesels...only living in memories
@phillyslasher An interesting note on the GP7's, According to an ARR employee during filming he walked around a building near the engine facility and wondered where the "old locomotives" came from and then realized that the two chopped nose geeps had been restored to the way EMD had intended with a "Hollywood" nose job. If you watch some of the scenes closely you can pick up a bit of wobble in the movie high hoods.
I forgot to add, the MRS 1 is Alaska Railroad 1606, Formerly US Army B-2059. The railroad shows the unit being retired in 1984, two years before the film was released. Sadly, 1606 has been reported as SCRAPPED, 1810 is now working at a Grain Elevator
I seen this when I was in middle school i think maybe younger, but i have been trying to find this movie for years! Me and my son (especially my son) would love it!
I think there should be a feature on trains so that if the breaks do fall off, it could blow the wheels off to stop the train to stop it in an extreme emergency like this.
Those are GP7's. (well two GP7's, a GP40, and a F7). One of the GP7's was also used in the movie "Under Siege, Dark Territory". From Wikipedia (It's also on other sites) Units used- Alaska Railroads EMD GP7s, 1801 and 1810. During their Alaska Railroad service the GP7s had had their short hoods chopped but for the film were fitted with mock-up high-noses.
Neither of the lead locomotives here is a GP-9, but the third and fourth ones in the "runaway train" are GP-7(s), which were produced shortly before and are very similar to a GP-9.
The train pulling into the passing siding is not headed by a GP-9 at all. Appears to be an ALCO unit, similar to some made for export decades ago (Though I believe some were in service when the movie was filmed). On the other hand, the four-unit lashup that is the runaway does have a pair of GP-9s in it. Lead unit is a newer (For the time) EMD 4-axle design, looks almost to be a GP-40. Second unit is an F-7, followed by two GP-9s.
@fairportfan2 - The closure rails in a turnout do not need to be flexible - if the tie bar is spring loaded, as in a "trailable facing point" turnout, it will allow a train to run through in the trailing direction.
no way, acting is great, awesome movie, saw it in 1986. you should've continued it on when dude says 'maybe the we forgot to switch or something' 'are you stupid! we just blew the caboose to hell!'
Quite a few things don't add up. Firstly the track plan at the signal box DOES NOT match up with the track plan on the screen. Secondly The Freight Train does seem to clear the points before the run away train reaches it. Thirdly the Run Away Train seems to hit a group of stationary wagons rather than just a locomotibe, Then again it is a film!
if you stop it at 1:14 you will notice that the flatbed car is a different color than in the previous scene, and it appears that its front trunks are missing, probably to soften the blow. therefore I think the crash is real, but its obvious the 2 cars the train hit are parked and not connected to the train
OMG, I see what you Mean! The Caboose Rips around the S-curve real Fast, and then it moves back a Little Bit, and Gets Nailed by the Lead Geep... Right at 1:10!
Good question, much depends on reliability, spares supply, and of course how well they were made in the first place!! Some locos like these, and the British class 37 and 47 locos can last for 50-60 years, while others seem to fade away quite quickly. By the way, I'm NO authority on any of this, I'm just a train nerd from England!
That was a Real Caboose they gutted out the interior and cuy out parts of the Caboose to allow it to come apart with relative ease as well as to create genuine sound effects of steel being crumpled and thrown all about. You,ve seen other REAL footage of Tractor Trailer Rigs being torn apart. One Thousand Tons+ of (4)Locomotives traveling at that speed will certainly tear a weakend hollowed out old rotton caboose and send it to HELL IN A HANDBASKET !!!
This is true. The GP7's were in fact fitted with fake high hoods for the film, but if you look closely, they are actually slightly higher than the long hood. Does anyone know if either of those units still exist?
True, I believe they used 7 1/2" for "Speed" when the subway crashed. While that wreck didn't look as life like and right as this and a few others, it was convincing for the movie. Also now that I look at it closer, the debris falling and hitting the locomotives is bouncing off them like plastic or foam. If it was real debris I don't think they would move away like they do in this scene.
Yes but no special effects were used in any of the scenes if you research it. Everything was geniune except the underside shot (when he is being draged) and one locomotive interior. Something that can't be said for todays movies.
At 1:09 the caboose already has past to the other track. At 1:13 the other train is not even moving when the locomotive hits! Movies...you gotta love all those defects! Very rare a movie does crashes properly. :( The Under Siege 2 crash is amazing but it is also a blooper hence the passenger train's locomotive derailed just be for hitting the freight train causing the noses of the trains to hit sideways rather than head on. That caused the freight locomotive to ramp on top of the passenger loco.

Runaway Train is the movie title! BTW, that caboose had to be some kind of real prop (not staged) because in real life the runaway train would either have been derailed or stopped completly or even both! :-S
@NSX86R Not exactly. They messed up the continuity a little. A bit later in the movie, you see the cab and most of the front of the lead locomotive mangled, but still powering away. They're in the last locomotive, but can't just jump to the front becuase the second is a streamliner.
Just for something to do, I managed to track (sorry) down each of the 4runaway locomotives used in this film. They all still exist, and I have modern pictures of them. not bad since the film was made in 1985, and they were old then!!
@carmium It may have been made of wood, but it was clearly representing a steel caboose. A wood caboose wood not be in service on any regional freight road for probably the last 40 years. The last ones were probably built around 1950.
I noticed that this is a work train going onto the siding but just before they crash it switches to the model trains and its all tank cars except the caboose and a flatcar just in front of it any one else see that ??
And it looks like a couple tank cars have type K air brake equipment underneath, which, considering NOTHING (Outside of a museum) would use that system in 1984, also kind of gives it away. Couple of those tanks look a bit like they started with Lionel tank cars (Some had type K brake rigging under the frame) and added some details. There is a double dome tank (At 1:00-1:01) that looks very much like a common Lionel tank. Down to the type K cylinder underneath.
@smiffy1071 How long do locomotives last? That is, how long is their service life? An ocean liner lasts about 30 years, an airliner lasts about 25 years, cars & buses last 10-15 years, etc.
The lead engine is a GP40, not a GP9, the other 2 high hood geeps are GP7's. That enginer pulling into the siding looks like an Alco or FM engine of some kind
Holy shit!!! this is the same section of track they had the near miss in the movie Emperor of the North! When Shack's on the 19 he screams the junction, and you see a short bridge then followed by a right hand turnout. This view is from the other side. What movie is this?
@dkbmaestrorules If you look closer you'll see that the caboose has yellow ends and blue(looks black on film)sides. Blue and yellow are the colors of the Alaska railroad and the majority of filming was done there( though some was done on the Butte,Annaconda & Pacific in Montana).
EMD could have used that in their ad campaigns, "See, our locos can punch through several cars and stay on the rails, not even damaging the cabs!"
by several cars you mean a plow car (prob. reason the front loco became a snowplow)and a caboose
Except the cab was screwed up badly. Watch the film.
1985 -2 upgraded locos: introducing, the new, EMD -2 locomotives! So toughly built, the can rocket through other cars!
I love how it makes a monster sound when it's crashes through the other train. Lol
computer effect
LegitGaming117 is somebody raping the alien from alien?
I think the sound was metal bending from the train colliding with the cars, but also they might have used the sound effect to make the train seem more menacing.

Orangish Yellow caboose
Then turns into a black one

ThatOneKid YT The caboose's side is grey at first. Then it turn into black.
Generic Username It’s actually Blue and Yellow, the flagship colors of the railroad the entire move was filmed on, the Alaska Railroad.
The reason for that is because they used a model train to do the crashing part so that's why the caboose is black and not yellow

@smiffy1071 How long do locomotives last? That is, how long is their service life? An ocean liner lasts about 30 years, an airliner lasts about 25 years, cars & buses last 10-15 years, etc.
damn i need this theme on my phone so I know when somebodys gonna come fuck my day up
The lead engine is a GP40, not a GP9, the other 2 high hood geeps are GP7's. That enginer pulling into the siding looks like an Alco or FM engine of some kind
It's the 1985 movie "Runaway Train" with actors Jon Voight and Eric Roberts.
Ага, тот самый фильм "Поезд-беглец" (Runaway Train) 1985 года с Эриком Робертсом. ))
Holy shit!!! this is the same section of track they had the near miss in the movie Emperor of the North! When Shack's on the 19 he screams the junction, and you see a short bridge then followed by a right hand turnout. This view is from the other side. What movie is this?
That's what you get for going under 20mph when you see a set of bright lights heading straight for your ass.

If you look closer you'll see that the caboose has yellow ends and blue(looks black on film)sides.
Blue and yellow are the colors of the Alaska railroad and the majority of filming was done there( though some was done on the Butte,Annaconda & Pacific in Montana).
