There's an interesting local article about the filming of "Unstoppable" here:

Excerpt:

There were several factors that brought Unstoppable to Pennsylvania. In filmmaking as in real estate, the three most important considerations are location, location and location. The screenplay called for a railroad that meandered through rolling countryside and small towns. While north-central Pennsylvania has those in abundance, the producers also needed a railroad that they could shut down for the duration of filming.

A funny thing about railroads is that they make money only when trains are using them. It was a challenge to find a rail line that could afford to halt commercial traffic for a month or longer. They eventually found one— a short line railroad that operates 70 miles of track between Tyrone and Lock Haven—the Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad.

That's a neat article -- gives you another perspective on how and where the movie was made. Thanks for posting it.
