This is a little bit of old news, the trailer has been out for a month or two.

Nevertheless, it's going to be a great action train movie. And Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors.

I'm in who cares about inaccuracy's it's entertainment but then I'll be the watching it on DVD one night and my wife will constantly be saying it's only a movie

Just my 2 cents worth, I spent the rest on trains. If you choked a Smurf what color would he turn?

I don't know if I'll go with "most awesome movie ever" but still looks pretty good.  Tony Scott knows how to put an action flick together.  Still, I don't know whether it's worth the $75 to take my family.  On Demand is only $5, and Netflix is, essentially, free.

 I remember the original incident -- it wasn't nearly that dramatic.Here is a link to the alleged CSX final incident report from a Railfan site:  http://kohlin.com/CSX8888/z-final-report.htm  The funny part is, the caption says, "The Culprit" and shows a photo of CSX #8888; it should show a photo of the engineer.

My first fear is what the NIM(rods)Bys have to say to such a thing...

If the engine failed, ain;t nuthin' that engineer could've done. Hostorical event huh?
