The scene involving Kimble's prison transport bus and a freight train wreck was filmed along the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad just outside of Dillsboro, North Carolina. Riders on the excursion railroad can still see the wreckage on the way out of the Dillsboro depot.

I can’t believe that wreck was real. I guess I am CGI’ed to the point in thinking everything Hollywood did the past 20 years is fake.

I thought Hollywood types cared about the environment???? Why did they leave this massive pile of litter in the pristine wilderness??????

When Buster Keaton made his movie, The General (1926) and finished filming the scene of the locomotive crashing off a bridge into the waters below, he left the wreckage behind. It remained there until WWII when it was collected for scrap metal for the war effort.
