Actually yes Unstoppable is a true movie but the movie is based on a train number number 777 out of Pennsylvania that train was headed for Ohio I believe it was headed almost headed through Youngstown or Ashtabula Ohio that's what that movie is based off of yes Unstoppable as a true movie but this one is not based off of that movie this one is similar but not based off of the Unstoppable movie watch Unstoppable again and you'll see the credits where it says this was based on a true situation in Pennsylvania

mow4ncry Well the police shot at a dead switch for the fuel line, and they tried to derail it, they also had a locomotive waiting in front and the one behind that slowed it down. The train had nobody controlling it, the air brakes weren't connected, the guy jumped out of the cab to relay a switch and couldn't get back on, the train was carrying dangerous chemicals, someone climbed on and applied the brakes. All these are true to the real life from the movie, not just "correct terms used" obviously it is exaggerated slightly and more action put in it for the movie, because it's a movie and you watch it for the thrill of it and to be entertained.

I can see that the movie did dramatize some things. In real life the train never went faster than 40mph. In the movie it was up to 70. Apparently they never did the train lashing maneuver with the helicopter deployment in real life. And in real life it was moving slow enough that someone could jump on from static ground, unlike the truck-jump scene in the movie.

These seats was used by the head brakeman.

There was obviously stuff added

Inspired what would go on to be one of my most favorite movies of all time.

The option to kill the engine remotely was equipped, but with dynamic brakes applied and air brakes applied (only to the engine as the cars were not hooked up in the yard), the automatic train control system was locked out of the throttle. At least we've learned since then.

PTC will prevent this. I am watching this in 2020!! Are you?

It was this train which inspires the Hollywood movie unstoppable

Holy freight trains! So, that's how they got the idea for the 2010 film, "Unstoppable!" And that incident took place in Northwest Ohio in 2001! It's fantastic! That was 3 years before me and my family move to Ohio!

I can see why the Unstoppable was made. CSX 8888, meet AWVR 777. But if the locomotives in Atomic Train and Unstoppable were switched, then Westrail 642 would have be impossible to stop and would devastate pretty much anything in the radius of the Russian Nuke and AWVR 777 would have been slowed easily. But it takes good locomotive and train car inspection and good braking and timing for the brakes and good throttle handling to keep a locomotive and it's cargo under control while going down slopes both major and minor.

Runaway Train is one of the best movies ever made. :)

Living right next to these tracks is crazy. BGSU is on one side and the bars are on the other. It passes through 6 times a day, every day. I’m surprised we don’t have accidents with this thing. The trains woke me up again. I watch them from my dorm room all of the time. It’s cool to watch when it isn’t at 2 am... but it’s most active at night and before dawn.

In reality, the whole event was a bit of a snoozefest. Hollywood tried to turn it into gold, as they always do.

this incident happened 1 month and 4 days after my 10th birthday, i remember watching the news about this and not understanding what the big deal was and my daddy getting upset because he had friends in ohio, we also had a lesson about it the next day at school, this event has of course inspired a train action film called "Unstoppable" which was released on November 12th 2010, and I didn't learn of the movie or even watch it until this year when it came onto TV, now as a 25 almost 26 year old woman I can understand better why my daddy was upset when I didn't as a 10 year old. I am glad to know that the REAL event and not the movie version didn't cause any deaths, in the film I counted 2 deaths and 1 injured so I am happy to know that in REAL LIFE things turned out much different
