One of my most favorite movies of all time!!!

My all time favorite railroad video 📹.

Totally agree, this is also one of the best train movies I've ever seen.

I have firstly watched the movie in 1979.

Some details, I Love this film! Ive watched it so much since I was a kid. A couple notable scenes, The final switch approach into the station just before the crash you see a series of train sheds. That is actually film of the approach into the Chicago/Northwestern station, Now Ogilive Transportation Center for Chicago Metra trains. Also in that same scene youll see an old rail viaduct crossing over which is currently the CTA Rapid Transit line for Pink and Green line trains into and out of downtown. Only the viaduct was replaced many years ago by tall steel beam girders. And in the scene when the cast steps off the train and Pryors "Holy shit!" remark !!! LOL If you look very very closely, you can actually see just behind the "CHICAGO" railroad station sign, the base of the newly completed then, CN Tower which had opened only a couple of months earlier at the time. And lastly, the locomotive which If Im not mistaken looks like an E8 unit, in its final resting location was actually filmed in Chicago's Union Station. Wonderful movie! Just watched it and DVRd it last night!

I remember this movie from when I was 9-years old. Loved it! Train crash scene was the best and still is! Sad that all four major cast members are all gone now.

I love Silver Streak the crash was so awesome :D

Nice!! The soundtrack is GREAT!! I am building a O scale model of the entire train right now. thx

great mesh of video and music

Love this movie.

AWESOME!!!!! Love those HO-scale locomotives. Keep up the good work.

Facts about the train: The locomotives used during production were Canadian Pacific FP7's #4070 and #4067. The engines and passenger cars all carried their real running numbers and names. Much of the consist is still in use on VIA Rail, with the exception of the dining car "Wascana" which was destroyed in a derailment in 2001. CP #4070 was sold to CTCUM in the late 1970s and ran on commuter service until about 2002. The engine would later renumbered #1300. The engine was sold to a rail line in Quebec to be used for possible tourist excursions. But this never materialized and the engine has sat in unserviceable for many years. As of 2013, the engine was still in existence. But it is not known if the engine has been cut up for scrap or not since then. CP #4067 was sold to VIA Rail and renumbered to VIA #1423. The engine was retired in 1983 and became a parts source. Sadly, she was cut up sometime in the 1980s. Amtrak was originally asked to participate in the film, but declined as they did not approve of the film's portrayal of train travel. Such as George being thrown off the train, walking into Hilly's compartment while she is dressing and the runaway/crash. Filming then moved to Canada after the Canadian Pacific Railway was more than willing to loan their engines and passenger cars to the film crew. Thus, the fictional "AMRoad" was born. Although named the "Silver Streak" in the film, the consist was actually made up of rolling stock from CP's premier passenger train "The Canadian" All exterior shots were filmed in various locations around Canada, including Calgary and Toronto's Union Station. For the crash at the end of the film, a full size mock up of #4070 was driven through an airplane hanger built to resemble Toronto Union Station or "Chicago". The shot was completed in one take with various cameras set up to capture the action. In the shot just before the Silver Streak speeds into the station, the CN Turbo Train can be seen loading passengers in the background. For the uncoupling of the cars scene, Gene Wilder performed his own stunts as he felt the audience would recognize if it was him or not. The only time it isn’t him is when his character has to make a dangerous “jump” between the uncoupled passenger cars just before the crash. This was done by a stunt man for obvious reasons. (Continuity Error): When George first boards the train in Los Angeles his compartment is located in Burton Manor, the second car of the train. The following morning after he see's the professor shot, the camera zooms in on George looking out the window of Elgin Manor, the third car of the train. Later, when Sweet and George make their way to the roof of the train, Sweet grabs a piece of clothing from above the compartment window of Burton Manor. The AMRoad logos damaged the real paintjob underneath of the engines and 20th Century Fox had to pay for them to be repainted. There is a photo taken of #4067 not long after filming ended and remnants of the AMRoad logo could still be seen behind the CP Rail road name.

Great movie!! One of the best memories of my childhood! (which kid didn't love the train crash?) ...and you can see Colt Seavers making a stunt at 0:45 :D

I miss Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor so much.

This movie was filmed in Calgary Alberta Canada...at Ogden Yards..also near Lethbridge Alberta...the train a Canadian Pacific Railways ...not a Amtrak train.

I love this movie ❤❤❤❤❤Gene Wilder & Richard Pryor ❤❤❤❤❤

This was filmde in Canada But When thee reach Chicago station that actualiteit reach union station Toronto

Train wreck fails to brake but the passengers are still safe

Omg

3:02 THAT'S A FENDER BENDER!!

pog moment

Stumbled upon your video. Loving it. I recall from my youth, Silver Streak playing on Showtime. Is this music from the film? I love it- has gives of James Bond and surf music. Thanks

Easter egg: UAC Turbotrain was waiting for you when silver streak crashed

3:05 looks like a matte shot. I think they've combined studio with a real location in a split screen or a matte.

Me pueden decir en qué plataforma está esta película?

Hoof records inc Cyprus virgin records uk Henry VIII Rain in Rio album footages part 1 coming soon

So Amtrak didn’t let them use their name for this but let the producers of “Disaster on the Coastliner” use it on their trains?

4070 still exists she is currently on a siding near Tring Jonction, Quebec number 1300

where can i get to see this movie?

This probably a dumb question. Why is it called the silver streak it looks red.

train is amroad

This cannot be good

Why

i play roblox with amroad 4070 and amtrak

At 2:05 , I don't think that's Gene Wilder; I think that's a stunt man. Gene Wilder can get thrown out of a train and do all right. If you get thrown out at 25 miles an hour, the ground would tear through your clothes and into your skin. Most people who fall from an average moving passenger train die because they go almost 90 miles an hour.

the original is better
