My wife and I have seen the movie (twice already!) and it is CP, probably somewhere in British Columbia. As best as I can determine, the power on the freight train which shows up just before the climax is an AC4400CW and an SD90MAC, a little bit big for any railroad Down Under except the Pilbara.

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.

Question about a train seen in the movie "Firewall"

I've just seen the movie Firewall starring Harrison Ford at the cinema. (I think our release dates down under a little behind you lot up over)

I found quite a good suspense movie myself...anyway...towards the end of the movie, the characters in the story crossed over a grade crossing, and then a freight train flashed past. Definitely CP, hauling those huse cars that carry motor cars (not sure of their proper name). My Q is: Where those locos Dash 9s? Just a curiosity Q really......

Thanks everyone....

Dave
