I always like the amount of work that went into this for just a TV series and details to makes the scenery to scale also.

Thanks for the video - I wasn't aware of that show. Good old Sierra #3 - that locomotive is truly embedded in Western movie & TV culture. I wonder how many models of her there were?

Josef, any idea what the FPS was for the large scale models. Not including the slow motions shots? I'm guessing 30 or a little more. Again, thanks for posting and found it very interesting. Don

Very interesting video. It looks like this may have been filmed outside since a large amount of scenery is there. Obviously they would not do a real train wreck but when the movie The Fugitive was filmed they used a standard size train and an old bus. The wreck is still near the tracks of The Great Smoky Mountains railroad near Sylva NC. We were there many years ago and it was in fact all there.

Don Seeing the speed of train crossing and coming up to bridge, filmed at normal speed 24FPS for the documentary of the scene, I think as you the cameras were shooting at 30FPS. Is that what you saw?

Josef, yes I'm sure the doc camera was shooting at 24 fps. As you can see the train looked toy like when shooting 24. Just a guess, but the camera shooting for the TV show would be 30 or 35 fps to slow the train to a realistic look. I loved that they added some color to the water. It improved the shot a great deal. Wonder if they added an effects filter to add to the look. When we started transferring everything to 1 inch tape for CMX editing I had my cameras modified to run at 30 fps as it's normal speed. Wow, what a improvement. Again thanks for sharing this video. Don

In fact, the final scene train hanging over has been many times used as a B/W picture having many believe it was an actually disaster of an engine going through and falling into the streets.

I had never seen this video before. It’s amazing how real it looks in the movie. Thanks for posting it Walt.
I’ve seen the B&W photo and thought it was real. Now I know better.
