This was the greatest railroad movie ever made. The last of its kind, too. All these wonderful steam locomotives were scrapped shortly after the film. that is also why the crashes were so well done. The locomotives were at the end of their useful lives, essentially worthless and the whole rail yard was due for a total tear up and remodel. In the bombing scene, the French RW system agreed to the tremendous and real destruction of the track and rolling stock. It saved them a huge amount of money in the actual demolition of the rail yard that took place immediately after the film was shot. I'm amazed it did not win any awards but from the NBR (National Board of Review, 1966- It was listed in the top ten movies). It was nominated for just one Oscar, for best screenplay, but lost. Worldwide, the film was a financial loss.

From ladder to locomotive in one shot. Lancaster was always so athletic.

They actually used a real trainyard that was to be demolished, filled it with to-be-retired rolling stock and then planned out the sequence.

Lancaster did his own stunts in film and crew used real dynamite during portions of air raid scene as French wanted area cleared out for new construction. Great action movie!

I love this scene--Burt Lancaster was always amazing, this is a great scene for Michel Simon, and Maurice Jarre contributes excellent scoring.

As sad is it is to see historical trains destroyed, it does make up for a spectacular sequence

Doc Brown is right. It is a 141R class supplied from the USA as part of the re-construction of the railway infrastructure of France. Lancaster as Labiche is Action Man, doing the stunts himself. Imagine Denzil Washington or Chris Pine in 'Unstoppable' being kicked out of the cab of a moving locomotive & landing within inches of bashing their brains out on a rail. In 'Unstoppable' they did not have real locomotives colliding or jumping the rails.

Also, I'm fairly certain that those where a pair of armored Flak cars at the end of the munitions train, similar to the one that appears at the front of the armored engine.

At least the steam locomotives are not bombed but the train wagons not so lucky
