- TriviaThe last train ("El ultimo Tren" aka "Corazon de fuego") movie
For the filming was used an ancient locomotive managed by the Uruguayan Railfan Association, precisely the ANP 1. It appeared as the Locomotive: CT 33 (030-tender), a fictional number for the film. The machine actually used was an Orenstein & Koppel 0-3-0 without tender, owned by the National Port Administration and loaned to the real "Amigos del Riel".
This locomotive was painted No. 33 on the sides of the cabin, for the making of the movie "Heart of Fire", of which it was the main protagonist.
. Manufacturer: "ORENSTEIN KOPPEL & ARTHUR KOPPEL". . Factory number: 5433. . Year of construction: 1912. . Locomotive Type: Tank 0-6-0. . Dimensions: Length 7900 mm. Width 2800mm. Weight: 45 Ton. Maximum speed: 50 km/h (31 mile/h) at 260 RPM. Power: 520 HP.
Featured review
Grandfatherly Types Kidnap a Locomotive
El Ultimo Tren opens, somewhat weakly for those of us who are linguistically challenged and stuck reading subtitles, with an assemblage of elderly gentlemen who are taking a vote on whether to proceed with an illegal act. In contrast, movie watchers who are fluent bilingually are more apt to notice a non-subtitled sign in the background in Spanish: Sociedad de Amigos Riel (Society of Friends of the Rail).
We have, then, an assortment of what appear to be rail worker pensioners and/or train aficionados. As the movie proceeds, although this is not totally clear, we gather that some of them may be aging railroad unionists. At least one is clearly leftist, as on the non-Franco advocacy side of the Spanish Civil War.
The plot is simple. An enterprising modern young businessman has salvaged and refurbished a vintage locomotive, which he plans to sell to Hollywood. The problem is, the locomotive is Uruguayan heritage, the last of its kind in the nation, and society members, who oppose the engine's acquisition by the gringos, vote by a narrow margin to kidnap it.
Implementation falls to three grandfatherly types and a youngster friend of one of them. Once the train gets rolling, the movie gets rolling too, enjoyably so and rapidly improving. Like the locomotive the conspirators seek to retain, the film is a keeper. There aren't many chances to see anything from Uruguayan cinema, although the population of such movies is increasing. This one is among your better bets from that limited pool.
