Another runaway train movie? How many is this now, about a dozen since the 70's?
There was a made-for-TV movie back in the 70's very similar, except that one was a runaway passenger train. Resolution came in the form of a spare locomotive that chased down the runaway train from behind then coupled onto it and braked it to a stop just before it hit ...... I don't know, an orphanage or a day care center, that sort of thing.
I wouldn't worry too much about this one, it's not like it's the railroad version of The China Syndrome or something. Just reading all the sarcastic comments on the You Tube page gives me some hope regarding the absurdity of it all.
