Who is the real frank barnes engineer?
Engine 8888 ln the stable of CSX Railroad was in Walbridge, Ohio. A long-time engineer in a single-man crew got out of the cab and 8888 ran away on a freight haul in May 2001, four months prior to 9/11. It traveled on its own at up to 47 mph for almost 2 hours from near Toledo to 55 miles northwest of Columbus, with a chemically hazardous load in two cars. It was stopped by the efforts of three train men. The case of the runaway train in Ohio became known as theCrazy Eights Incident. In fact, 8888 derailed in 2005 to provide a second Incident. Engineer Jesse Knowlton (lives a few miles from me) and Conductor Terry Forson (lives a few more miles away) stopped Crazy Eights in '01 and acted as consultants on the film Unstoppable(2010), also contributing some dialogue.

What war was going on in the 1980s?
the war was called the falklands war.
it was a war between Britain and Argentina over some island off of the coast of Argentina called the Falkland islands. For years the Argentinians had been eyeing them up and when Britain took huge financial cuts in the navy during the 80s the last navy vessel left the falklands; there were no army guarding it - so Argentina pounced and attempted to sieze the Falklands. News of this reached Maggie Thatcher, Prime minister at the time. She wanted to settle the disagreement between Britain and Argentina peacefully, but it soon became clear that that couldn't be. One of Mrs.Thatcher's experienced Naval commanders stepped in and claimed he could have a fleet of navy vessels setting sail for Argentina in 42 hours. Maggie Thatcher agreed and in three day's time the vessels set sail for the Falklands. It was an act that brought the nation together again. With in three weeks of arriving there Britain secured the Falklands with exactly 255 British deaths.
