Atomic Train

At one point the TV reporter refers to the train's braking system as "hydraulic brakes". This is also emphasized when you see "brake fluid" dripping from a hose. If they did an ounce of research, they would know that trains operate with a compressed air braking system. No train in existence uses hydraulic brakes. Also when two air hoses bust open, the train automatically goes into emergency, and the movie would've been 10 minutes long.

The engineer on the train states that the "throttle is stuck again." Federal Railway Administration and company rules would require a locomotive with a sticking throttle to be removed from service.
