Cool train.. I can't read a word, but that doesn't matter (Hendrik in Switzerland helped out tremendously with the info!)

That's a special train design to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the so called "Autozug" by the Deutsche Bahn (german railways). You can travel long distances with your car on a wagon by train (but it's not cheap).

In switzerland we also have several so called "Autoverlad" to travel faster in the alps without the need of a mountain pass, my favorite one is the Lötschberg. You can find some historic pictures on this homepage:

The train and bus wreck from the 1993 movie The Fugitive were left in place after the scene was finished

The train wreck scene was shot in one take, lasted 60 seconds, took a crew of 100 two months to prepare and cost $1.5 million to shoot.

Perhaps to keep the high costs in check, the Warner Bros. studio left the wreckage as is and didn’t remove the locomotives or the bus. Today, the crash site is a popular tourist attraction in the western North Carolina town of Dillsboro. The trains still have “Illinois Southern” written on their sides, while “Illinois Dept. of Corrections” is still emblazoned on the side of the bus. Visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad can see the Hollywood train wreck on the Tuckasegee River Excursion, a four-hour, 32-mile trip from Bryson City to Dillsboro and back.

Doc Brown's time traveling train

In May 1991, Universal Studios Florida introduced a ride based on the hugely popular movie trilogy – Back to the Future: The Ride. As part of the attraction, a replica of Dr. Emmett Brown’s Jules Verne Time Train was on display outside the ride’s entrance, along with a replica of the DeLorean. Unfortunately, after a 16-year stint, the ride closed down in 2007. The train and the car were relocated to the theme park’s backlot and largely forgotten about until a couple years later when they were both restored and placed back in the park – this time near the front of the park.
