• Martin Campbell was initially the director of the film. However, after two years of work on 'Unstoppable,' he left the project.
• According to Tony Scott, one of the most challenging tasks was to film the movie in a way that kept the audience's attention focused on the main characters, who spend most of their time inside a 6 by 9 foot cabin. To maintain the realism of the characters and the overall atmosphere of the film, Scott refused to use extensive computer graphics.
• The film is based on a real incident where a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals traveled for over two hours without any control or management until it was stopped by engineers.
• Eight locomotives and 60 individual cars were used during filming. According to operating regulations, all cars had to undergo scheduled inspections throughout the entire period. As the film crew moved from city to city, they were accompanied by a sort of miniature railroad.
• A strict speed limit of no more than 15 miles per hour was in effect on the railway tracks. However, this was not enough for the train to navigate a sharp turn effectively. Tony Scott did not want to use computer effects and instead relied on the classic trick of smoke and mirrors, which visually accelerated the movement.
• Filming took four months.
• During the filming of one of the most tense moments, when the train derails, the main railway junction in the city of Emporium had to be closed for more than 5 hours.
