Goofs

When the train becomes a runaway it is still 300 miles from Denver, described as downhill all the way so that it cannot stop without brakes. Since mountainous terrain does not allow a continuous steady downgrade, the train would have to descend at least two or three miles to keep it coasting over that distance, making the starting point higher than any point in Utah. In fact, since it would be traveling toward the Continental Divide, it should be going generally uphill for most of the first 250 miles.

The damaged area of Megan's windshield shrinks and moves off center.

Share this

When the air hoses on the runaway get disconnected the train keeps going faster and faster, but in reality if air hoses on a train become disconnected it's considered a dump in air pressure which would lock all the train brakes up and make the train come to a dead stop, rather than keep the train moving.
