If you haven't seen the movie, but want to, skip this entry! *S*
A documentary discussing the filming of "The Train" stated that, for the locomotive wreck scene, the movie crew had one spare camera, but no place to put it. The camera was finally placed trackside at a random location.
Turns out that 'random' camera caught the derailed locomotive bouncing directly toward it, filming the still-spinning wheel turning right in front of the lens. A great shot thanks to a bit of cinematic good luck.
