I saw it last night. Pretty good film as anticipated. Whos gonna be first to model the 777 or 1206?? =)
Since they have taken the plot from CSX Crazy 8888 locomotive, i suppose the same happenend in the movie, brake where applied, but not fully, and the throttle was at 8, so the locomotive whore out its brakes and they where alrady useless when the emergency kicked in

Hmmmmm..... So eventhough the brakes where applied the throttle is still engaged and does not kick off?
Sure they are two completely separate systems. And not all locomotives have a deadman's pedal. Some railroads don't use them.
