LOCATION DETAILS
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. Park on the side of Haywood Road near the Jackson County Green Energy Park and look down the slope across the street to see the wreck.
