The film is inspired by the "Crazy Eights" unmanned train incident in 2001. The train, led by CSX Transportation SD40-2 #8888, left its Walbridge, Ohio rail yard and began a 66-mile journey through northwest Ohio with no one at the controls, after the engineer got out of the originally slow-moving train to correctly line a switch, mistakenly believing he had properly set the train's dynamic braking system, just as his counterpart in the movie did. Two of the real train's tank cars also contained thousands of gallons of molten phenol, similar to the fictional train in the film.
A self-confessed acrophobic, Denzel Washington reluctantly performed the stunts where actually he runs along the top of the speeding train. What made the stunt even more hazardous was the fact that the train was empty, thus causing the individual cars to rock more violently. Even though Washington was "wired" as a safety precaution, the leaps from car to car presented a potentially hazardous sequence (interview: Breakfast: Episode dated 26 November 2010 (2010).
Rosario Dawson is a real-life train aficionado. She travels on trains all over the world, wherever possible.
According to the extras on the DVD, the runaway train was actually being run by a remote control, similar to a toy radio-controlled car.
Denzel Washington recommended Chris Pine to Tony Scott for the role of Will Colson.
"Oscar Galvin: I am not jeopardizing more personnel and more property just because some engineer wants to play *hero*! End of discussion! That train is our property. It's our decision! Now you stop your pursuit or I will fire you! Frank: [chuckles] Fire... You already did. Oscar Galvin: Already did what? Frank: You've already fired me. I received my 90-day notice in the mail... 72 days ago. Forced early retirement, half benefits. Oscar Galvin: So you're gonna risk your life for us with three weeks left. Frank: Not for you. I'm not doing it for you."
"Will: Mr. Galvin, this is Will Colson, your conductor. I'm letting you know we're gonna run this bitch down. Oscar Galvin: Well, maybe you didn't hear what I just said, Colson. I will fire you! Will: Well, that's too bad. I was just starting to like this job."
