Anecdotes
The fight on the top of the train was performed by stuntmen Howard Curtis, doubling Charles Bronson, and Tony Brubaker, doubling Archie Moore, and was directed by stunt coordinator Yakima Canutt, his last screen credit in a career that lasted 60 years and included directing the chariot race in Ben-Hur (1959).

Gaffes
The stovepipe of the caboose faces the front of the train. Cabooses are always positioned with the stovepipe to the rear so that smoke doesn't blow into the cupola.

Versions alternatives
The UK cinema version was cut for an 'A' certificate with the removal of a bloody head shooting and a shot of Claremont slashing Fairchild with a sword. Video releases featured the same cut print though DVD versions are fully uncut.

enjoyable western

This movie was made at the height of Bronson's career. He had just done Death Wish a year before and Hard Times and Breakout were the other two to follow. It must have made a packet and its easy to see why. A train heading for a destination where Indians await and mysterious murders happening along the way. Many characters make this movie seem alas Hitchcock/Christie and the music by Jerry Goldsmith is one of the best of the 70's. His music captures the mood of every scene whether it be high pitch as the train moves along or dark as the shady characters go about their business in the carriages. Some of the location shooting is breathtaking and i actually felt cold watching it. The acting is solid as expected. Bronson, Crenna, Johnson, Lauter, Durning and even Jill Ireland are all good while not giving much away to their character. The action explodes at the end and gunfire a plenty making this one of the most entertaining action films of that era.

8/10
