Inception

Hold onto your seats folks, because I've got some mind-blowing information about the freight train used in the blockbuster hit Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio! This GP35 may have looked convincing, but it's nothing but a deceiving imposter! That's right, the filmmakers had to custom build a train that could actually drive down a city street, and they did it by transforming a Peterbilt 375 into a freight train. The semi was stretched and a fake body was constructed over the truck to create the most unbelievable train you've ever seen. And get this, there were no rails involved! Watching this train glide seamlessly down a city street will truly make you question what's real and what's not. And if that's not enough to blow your mind, this train wasn't just a one-hit wonder for Hollywood. It was actually acquired from the Fillmore Railway and has been featured in other blockbuster films as well. So the next time you see a freight train rolling down the tracks, remember that in Hollywood, nothing is ever as it appears!
