@AxlMidas Saw this stupid stupid stupid film today- they're trying to hit the fuel cut-off button. Why they didn't hole the fuel tanks is left open to question. This being a Hollywood train I suppose a bullet through a fuel tank, even one with diesel in, would blow it and everything else up.
Still quite enjoyed it BTW but then it's got trains in so I would. Can US freight loco's get anywhere near 70MPH?
@TimRuffle There was a runaway in Pennsylvania in 2001 and the police used a shotgun and shot at the fuel cutoff switch. And a US freight locomotive can easily get to 70 MPH because the speed limit for the BNSF railway near my home is 70MPH, and the over speed control is set at 80MPH.
I asked because the classic image of a US freight train is of a miles-long behemoth trundling along with three or four locomotives at either end and probably a few in the middle though I knew some freight services hit 50-odd on main lines.
By contrast the ubiquitous load lugger in Britain, the class 66, will get 1,500 tons up to 60MPH but that's almost its top speed (oh- according to Wikipaedia -ahem- some can do 75).
@limbdarkening No not really. XD Its a story in the Railway Series book Duck and the diesel engine(you would know it as Thomas the tank engine). Both the plots are broadly similar .ie a runaway train being stopped by a Engine.
@Rookiewill Haven't seen the movie but I would presume if the fuel tanks were punctured with bullets the fuel would leak out and stop the engines,although it would still be a roller down a grade.....
thank god in Australia we have dead man switchs. so stuff like this doesn't happen

@garfert in the movie the dead man switches didn't work because the air brakes were unhooked.

Hmm so many things still get hit, thought police would learn not to park there car on the tracks :3
But anyway, just blow up the tracks! when the train is in the woods or something :3

@cornholio435 So it's basically an adult version of Thomas the Tank Engine. Wow, they are really desperate these days for movie ideas.

Seems pretty risky as its carrying highly flamible gas as cargo
Rookiewill 1 year ago
@Rookiewill its gonna crash and explode anyway,its a calculated risk worth taking to stop it.
Those fuel tanks are big, marksmen are not about to miss hitting them.
Anyway its only a movie !
eaglerock999 1 year ago
@Rookiewill they were trying to shoot the wheels at the front of the train to make it stop, if they are using anti material amunition, it could work.
