Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
71 of 127 found this mild
In one scene the train's brake is broken, causing it to go at high speeds down an extremely steep hill.
A man sitting on top of a train almost hits a tunnel entrance as the train enters it, but ducks and is unharmed.
When three children go out to cross a bridge railroad, one boy almost falls.
When the back part of the train separates from the rest, it goes wildly out of control (not too intense however).
