Breakheart Pass film location
Author: switchlamp

I just saw the movie last night on Netflix. It was shot on a train all the way through. Beautiful scenery. Anyone have details of the equipment used and so forth. Did they wreck a real caboose and cars or were they props ?
Thank you,
Tom

I believe it was the Camas Prairie in Idaho

It was filmed on a couple of the Camas Prairie Railroad's branches in Idaho. The train was ex-Great Western #75 and it's movie train. Also used (and actually wrecked) were some NP wooden boxcars and an NP wooden caboose.

I'm not sure but always thought this was the bridge the caboose flew off of.

According to Rieger's 'The Camas Prairie, Idaho's Railroad on Stilts', They built a shoofly and short piece of bridge and launched the caboose off into space so it looked like it was jumping the tracks.
