@AWKman259 A show..?? This from the film "The Train" about French resistance fighters working on the French railways. Perhaps you'd appreciate it better if you saw the whole film.
@AWKman259 This is from the 1964 film "The Train" starring Burt Lancaster. It isn't real but the scenes with the trains were. No cheesy special effects then.
Same director, John Frankenheimer, who did the original "Manchurian Candidate".
@MrCSXboy98 indeed. those are SNCF vintage class 230's, and as SNCF was starting the conversion to Electric, John Frankenheimer got permission to smash up a few.
@ufn489 You've still got VHS tapes on sale..!!! How retro ;-) You can still get this film on DVD in the U.K...{PAL format}...No good for Yanks who use NTSC unless they have a player that can convert it.
To hell with Health and Safety! This is how you make a film!
Been to the place where they filmed this. The line is closed, but the track and the station building (which is now an office of sorts) is still there and isn't fenced off. Felt awesome to walk down the platform in the footsteps of Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield, John Frankenheimer and all the hundreds of people that made this fantastic film possible
The film was made at a time when France was converting from steam to Diesel, and there were plenty of serviceable locomotives to be used in the film. By agreement, the film makers were to clean up everything they wrecked and pay for the use of the track, old cars, locomotives, etc. In fact, they shot the film and skipped, leaving a huge mess for the French government to clean up! The story is built around Goering's appetite to rape countries of their culture, for his own collection.
the secodn engine is, there is a flaw, watch the clip again, when the engien is detached, that is the 4-4-0, then theres the boxcars, after that theres another engine, that is a 4-6-0, watch carefully, at 2:24 engine one, then the boxcars, 2:54 engine two, thats the 4-6-0, i was lookign at engine 1, the 4-4-0
Couldnt tell at 2:24 if it was a 4-4-0 or not. 2:54 is a 4-6-0 i agree. I did look at another scene at 0:55 and the lead engine is a 4-6-0, not a 4-4-0.
@Smoofie92 the engine crashed across the tracks was a 0-6-0 or 0-8-0, based on the camera angles, i could tell it had no guide wheels. all the other engines are 4-6-0's
@Smoofie92 if you're talking about the enigne crashed across the tracks, it's a 0-6-0 or 0-8-0. either way, you can tell if you've seen it crash that it had no guide wheels. the other engines are all 4-6-0's.
and the Larger seagull was English. this is france. all french.
@TheAmtrakPunk the Knuckle coupler, if that's what you mean, as an American innovation. French locos still used the link and hook style coupling until the advent of Diesels.
Enjoyable film this, but a shame to see old steamers smashed up for entertainment...Still they didn't seem to have that urge to preserve old steam locos back in the 1960s like they did later.
The fireman took it off the soldier so if any of the german guards on the boxcars saw what has happening and tried to stop him, he could use it to kill off the guards.
It isnt.....i have the movie and it says that it was shot in France using real French steam engines. Dont believe me? Get the movie and put on the director commentary.
I forget wich one in this clip, but i heard rumors of one of the engines from this movie is still runnin' around in france somewhere. Idk for sure tho :(
And I like how at 3:58, the buffers DONT do there job, and get chopped off. Lol
hey dude, i love steam as much as the next guy, (and i bet they did too) but danlefou is correct. No one was willing to wreck anything new. Besides, the steam loco's in the movie add a lot of exitement. And plus, not ALL of them were scrapped.
@WhyAyeMann these are old French class 230's, i beleive, built in 1915. and you are correct. in fact, if you wath the Air raid scene, several clips show Modern (Post-war) French Steamers!
Those rail road worker wer adept at sabatage. A very well conststructed piece of gumming the works. All of Burt Lancaster's co stars in The Train played their role excelently.
Some of this film (The Train) was made out in the eastern section of France, the engine shed scene was at Vaires near Paris and I think most of the filming was done on little used lines out towards the Ardennes, and Champagne.Sadly I do not know the locations, some of my French family remember the filming well, as they lived in Vaires and Chelles. Great film.
This is a lovely vintage clip! But why didn't they just leave the wagons attached to the train to cause more damage? Still, after seeing this, I gotta see the whole movie!
