20th century fox has been in town for the last month filming a movie called "UNSTOPPABLE". It star's Denzel washington,Chris Pine and a few other big names. It is directed by Tony Scott. Anyway they are making a few "fake" locomotives for a crash seen in the movie. I have been watching them build these two locomotives from scratch for the last month. The inside's of the loco's are simply 2"x2" square tubing. if you notice on the back of the one loco they made a hooking mechanism that is going to hook a huge cable when the train goes by and derail it. there is then going to be a huge explosion and fire after they derail it. Should be pretty neat to see. They also poured 50 truck loads of cement and then covered it with dirt where they are going to crash them. When they are done all the concrete needs to be ripped and disposed of. It is very obvious that money is not an issue while they are filming. They paid ppl that live along the railway $1000 a day just to stay out of site. here is a few pics. The loco's look real but look close. Remember these pics when you see the film next year.
