three words guys - Drivers Vigilance Device. given that the train hadn't JUST been hit (within 30 secs- 1 minute), then at 80 or so MPH it could be plausible that at that speed, it would appear to have no martians in that area, but just up the road.... <br />I havn't seen the movie, but the description of the scene sounds like thew video intro to the WotW PC game i got bout 5 years ago. based on the Musical adaptation, there is a shot of a Great Western express running through the darkness, the people in the carriages, the crew (all very well done) and then there is a tripod standing over the tracks and it proceeds to destroy the train. The loco boiler blows up, followed by the first 3 carriages with the rest derailing. I can only guess the gas lighting causes the carriages to blow up. <br />I too would like to see a true version of the novel done, but remain content to watch to 1953 version. they did it with Time Machine, twice!
