Geocache Description:

Please be sure to pull completely clear of the pavement to avoid breaking any parking restrictions. This is a quick park and grab near the location of the train/bus wreck used in the filming of the 1993 movie "The Fugitive", starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. During winter months you can get a good view of the wreck from the end of the guard rail, but in summer you may have to take a ride on the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad to get a clear view. BYOP.

The 1993 movie, "The Fugitive" included an exciting wreck involving a train and a prison bus. This wreck was staged near Dillsboro on a rail siding in the GSMR maintenance yard, between the working rail tracks and Haywood Road, The rail cars and bus remain in the same location today. This wreckage is on private property of GSMR, so please do not cross the fence from the highway right of way. In addition to the train wreck scene, many of the hospital scenes were filmed at nearby C.J. Harris Hospital in Sylva. Enjoy the hunt and God Bless.
