A third engine, prepped to try and stop 8888 from the front end, proved to be unnecessary.ĭisaster averted, those involved received a pat on the back and went home to wait for their real reward: finding out which one of them would get to be played by Denzel Washington some day. Once the intrepid railwaymen caught up to CSX 8888, the pair managed to couple it to their engine and apply the brakes, slowing the locomotive down enough that a carefully positioned third engineer was able to hop aboard the front of the train and switch off that pesky throttle. This part actually was pretty impressive - the rogue engine reportedly reached speeds upwards of 50 miles per hour during the final phase of its journey.
In the end, CSX 8888 fell prey to that oldest of truisms, that "the only thing that can stop a train is a second train, maybe with a third train left somewhere down the line just in case." As the loose caboose passed Dunkirk, Ohio, a second engine was dispatched behind it and sent in pursuit with two engineers onboard. That discerning viewer would be one hundred percent right. There is, the discerning viewer will note, simply no way that engine #777, a freight train loaded with dangerous substances, would be allowed to run at breakneck speeds, sans brakes and unmanned, across the mainland United States. It's got everything, from high-speed chases and thrilling action sequences to Kevin Dunn, but in the end, it's all just too far from reality. The film stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, playing a pair of engineers with a shared enthusiasm for not watching runaway trains careen into population-dense regions of the midwest, and somehow isn't the Denzel movie that they decided to title Training Day. Denzel and his co-star was fabulous in the movie to save the day. All the actors in this one, did an amazing job pulling you into the movie. The largely forgotten, critically beloved 2010 thriller, directed by Top Gun's own Tony Scott, tells the story of a seemingly inauspicious locomotive with two special gifts: a "Little Engine That Could" attitude about chugging off unaccompanied at breakneck speeds, and a payload of highly toxic molten phenol. This movie started off building up the story line and you just think its going to be about a runaway train, not exciting, but wrong This movie with this out of control train carrying chemicals had me on the edge of my seat. If you've logged into your streaming video account recently, there's a good chance that you've seen Unstoppable in the list of recommendations.
