• A GP7 locomotive #1801, owned by Missouri Central Railroad at the time of filming, appears in the film. Ten years before this film's release, this locomotive (then owned by Alaska Railroad) appeared in another famous railway film – "Runaway Train" (1985). Currently, this locomotive operates under the designation RRC-1800.
• Jeff Goldblum and Julian Sands turned down the role of Travis Dane.
• Initially, John Peters was going to produce the film and wanted to bring back the character played by Gary Busey. However, he was assured that Busey's character had died in the first film, and Peters left the project.
• In an interview with Playboy magazine, Sandra Taylor hinted that she didn't know what fate awaited her character, Kelly, until she saw the finished film. This was because two versions had been filmed: in one, Kelly was shot in the knee, and in the other, she was shot and killed.
• During the preparation for filming the scenes on the railroad, sparks from under the locomotive's wheels caused fires in the areas adjacent to the tracks. In order to carry out the filming, the locomotive had to be modified.
• The scene with the destroyed industrial plant in China was taken from unused footage from another Steven Seagal film, "On Deadly Ground" (1994).
• The phrase “fortune favors the prepared mind,” spoken in the film by Travis Dane, was borrowed from the French scientist Louis Pasteur.
• In one of the film's episodes, the scientist terrorist Travis Dane says: "Without the disk, this train is just 20 tons of scrap metal." In reality, the total weight of the train was 2000 tons. It is also mentioned several times that Dane intends to blow up 8 million people in Washington. However, at that time, Washington was home to just over half a million people, while 8 million lived in New York, approximately 400 km from Washington.
• At the very beginning of the film, during the launch of the "Grazer" satellite from the shuttle, the payload bay doors open simultaneously with the separation of the spacecraft. This could not have happened in reality. Spacecraft launches can only be carried out with the doors fully open (to avoid collisions with the control system).
• The film depicts the launch of the "Pegasus" anti-satellite missile from a Northrop B-2 Spirit bomber. In reality, the winged "Pegasus" launch vehicle is launched from a modified Lockheed L-1011 Stargazer, owned by Orbital Sciences Corporation.
• Filming took place from September 14, 1994, to January 18, 1995.
