saywhatnow Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I think I saw in the news that it wasn't a real steam train, but a recently made 'fake' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It was a replica made for the movie and for that scene. I believe it was built on a truck chassis, with smoke projectors and stuff for the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
