the cassandra crossing - the bridge scene (III)

perfect image quality. the train is on the way to the bridge...lucky for the survivors was the man who activated the breaks. a classic movie and it touched my entire childhood since i saw it first time in the 90s and still at 20 years old remains my favourite movie ever ...

@Nigel16032009 I think the driver might have been a part of the military who boarded the train when it was being sealed up with the shutters and welders and maybe he had been ordered just to drive the train to the quarantine camp in Poland.I've been over the real bridge, which is actually the Garabit viaduct in France, years ago when I was Inter Railing there - I did spot the mistakes with the track though, among many errors this movie has, but it's great to watch anyway!!

that train ALMOST made it over the bridge - or, as harry doyle/bob ueker said in major league: "juuuuuuuuuuuust a bit outside!" is it just me or do the guys in the hazmat suits look somewhat like muno on yo gabba gabba!?

i want to be either sophia loren or the female doctor in the movie!

This was one of the better disaster movies. Great shots of the bridge and music - they really did that very well back in the 1970's; much better than now.

Had me on the edge of my seat as a kid. Looking at it again more closely there's a shot where you see a rusting track leading on to a steel bridge with some kind of warning sign. At the end when the train is about to cross it the track has a good shine to it! Also, was the driver brainwashed somehow into driving this train over a death trap of a bridge. I know the real one is still standing to this day and is an engineering masterpiece. Who would knowingly drive a train over an unsafe bridge????

@baneskrbic ........Incredable ! It still creaps me now like 30 years ago !

An unforgettable cult movie !!

LOL! Why do most of think the old lady scene at 1.52 is quite funny. Looks like shes trying to push one out...

1 engine,

1 bagage car (2nd one is added after the train is sealed)

3 passenger coaches

1 dining car

3 or 4 more passenger coaches after the dining car.

When the train first leaves the station, there is 1 passenger coach and 1 baggage care after the dining car.

As a young kid, I was terrified by:

.....the ugliness of: 1:39

.....the horror of: 1:49

.....and I just thought: 1:52 was quite funny.

Still a great film. Thanks for posting.
