Check out this clip previewing NCIS: Los Angles tonight (Nov.5) where a train threatens LA.

Video wouldn't play on linked site. Found it on YouTube and I might have to watch, if I even remember.
It's on now - for those who forgot. (on the East side)
In before real railroaders chime in:
"Utter horsebleep"

Boy, THAT was REALLY STUPID!!!! Hollywood strikes again. Every time they showed a close-up of the guy "working" the throttle, you could plainly see the reverser was CENTERED!!!!
Yeah I'm sure everyone at home is saying the same thing.
Utter horse...oh...uh...nevermind.

Hah! You guys should hear what the real NCIS agents are sayin on their website, they're livid!

In addition to "losing the brakes" when the trainline parted...

Look at it this way:
If 5,000,000 viewers watched that episode last night, probably 4,999,980 couldn't care less how accurate the railroading segments were.

Guess the brake lines were filled with hot air.
Get a life guys, it was just entertainment. Why must you guys find fault with everything. Personally I found the show very entertaining.
Irregardless (or regardless) of the technical details, I thought the models in the railroad company's offices were pretty nice looking.
I particularly liked the chrome model in the board room - not in the scene long enough to see much detail!

Yes! God forbid we discuss what's technically wrong with this show (a tired cliche from nearly every train related disaster film coming out of Hollywood) on a forum about real trains.

OK, I'll give you that MOST home viewers would not catch the technical flaws. However, how do you explain all the special effects "fire & sparks" at EVERY WHEEL, when the train supposedly "had no brakes"???? I'll bet even the "average arm-chair viewer" may have wondered about THAT.
