Here's the 1984 movie clip.
Actress Lori Singer obviously was able to stop the Baldwin in one of the movie 'takes', judging by the mess she caused (viewed in the daylight still you included). Though also able to leap tall buildings and scare Kevin Bacon, I don't think she'd have been as able to derail a six-axle, like an SD18 or '38. The dubbed soundtrack sure sounds like a Tunnel Motor. There no doubt have been some kids who saw this scene and tried it, over the years, who thought they could achieve the same (very unrealistic) outcome...
