Train Wreck
In movie
Scene where Dr. Richard Kimble runs for his live in front of a derailed freight train.
Real
Scene was shot The remains of the iconic train crash from the movie The Fugitive can still be found rusting along the Great Smoky Railroad.
The scene was shot on a stretch of the Smoky Mountain Railroad using the most practical special effects of all, a real train and a real bus. The movie was made far before CGI effects became the standard in filmmaking, and instead of using miniatures the filmmakers simply placed a full-size bus in the path of an oncoming freight train, and let physics do the rest. The bus was nearly torn in half by the impact, and the train was made to derail after the collision leaving nothing but mangled wrecks in its wake.
