Trivia: The train scenes were filmed in Dillsboro, North Carolina. The engine used (which was not destroyed) now pulls a dinner train. During a ride on that train, props from the making of the film can be seen, including the prison bus and the shell of the engine that crashed into the bus. Dillsboro is next to the town on Sylva, NC where the local hospital was used for filming the hospital scenes in the beginning of the film and the ambulance get-away.
