    • Trivia
      The film was not shown on the Colorado NBC affiliate, KUSA-9, because of the Columbine shootings.
    • Goofs
      The engineer on the train states that the "throttle is stuck again." Federal Railway Administration and company rules would require a locomotive with a sticking throttle to be removed from service.

    so bad it was kind of good
    Actually this movie isn't so bad for a Made for TV Action Movie. Of course everything was over the top and the acting was sub par. It was the type of movie that if it can go wrong it will. You keep asking yourself can anything go right for these People????? and then nothing goes right for them. It is just one of those movies you have to watch and let the mind wander and enjoy this movie is best watched if you have a big storm outside and you can't go anywhere so might as well sit back and have fun.

    Of course there are plot holes you can drive a Steam Train Through. But what Made for TV movie doesn't. Some Charters are droped before the first half of the movie is over and you never see them again and you go through the rest of the movie wondering if they will ever show up again.

    My biggest gripe of the movie is some of the actions of the Charters get them into the Problems they have. If only they follow the Rules or directions this movie wouldn't have had the same Ending it did. Just following the Rules would of caused the Train to have a happy ending.

    But don't worry it is a Great time killer full of hammy acting and Cheap FX.
