I wished someone would upload that scene when Roger Devereau ( played by Patrick McGoohan) brakes into the driver's cab on the locomotive as he tries to evade capture from law enforcement agents. Devereau is shooting at police helicopters persueing the train. The train driver ( refered to in the film as an engineer) tries to escape by slowing the engine down. Devereau notices the reduction in speed and utters the most memorable line in the movie "keep your foot ON THE PEDAL" classic!
Well said rsynth! Reportedly filmed in a warehouse this unexpected scene involved a "real" train carriage and stunt people along with fake walls and pillars.
The locomotive slams into a fictional station in Chicago...Central Station. The station in Chicago is Union Station. During the closing credits the station they show is the one in New York which looks nothing like Union Station.
It was this very scene (with Henry Mancini's music) that made me watch this movie over 30 times. (First time I watched it when it aired as "The CBS Wednesday Night Movie" in 1982.)
real metal replicas, in an airplane Hanger. that does not make sense to me, cuz i thought they would of made it trick photography by crashing some HO scale trains or somethin.
even the sports car ran away, lol

I love the way it crosses over to the most right-hand track, then enters the station on the left! Massive mistake, awesome scene!

It wouldn't be fun if they used models. FYI, the real
locomotive still exists to this day, locked up in an
engine house in Montreal.
