@robcat2075 i would be shocked if there was any real documents from the Milwaukee Road that a real Locomotive Tug A War really happened for a special event.
hey robcat, do you think you can put the scene where the landslide happens and the get the work train out up on here. and also the end where doyle oils up the hot box while traveling at 80 mph. i would appreciate it.
i bet after the tugawar they had to do some maintenance on the running gear. and even the drivers. cuz the drivers can only handle so much friction, before the traction tires melt off. but otherwise heck who would not want to participate in soemthin like that.
im putting down, money on the mikado, any takers. if you crank this up full sound, whooaaa. it's awsome. now nobody cannot tell me they would not want to be in one of the engines in this event. hell i would. i would do a locomotive tug a war.
only in america XD

AWESOME!!! BTW was this contest done in real life by RR companies, or was it just a climatic scene for the movie?

I presume this one was staged for the cameras, but that it was an activity they might typically do anyway for special events.
