After today's walk around town, I decided to head over to the Medina Industries & check out Movie Star Locomotive Wheeling and Lake Erie's SD40-2 #6353 switching Plastipak. I also ran into local railfan Jimmy taking in the action. This locomotive, along with SD40-2 #6354 were used in the 2010 film Unstoppable starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. They used both locomotives painted as AWVR #1206 in the film. They were also modified with bigger windows to allow Denzel & Chris to be seen better during the film. A modification they both still sport to this day.
