OK. Thanx Euchre.

The possible coincidece of a sine wave appearing while we are trying to place a sound file in this mystery seemed too good to be true I guess..

The Blue Flash @ 0:40

I've gone through so many pages of these forums that my head hurts, and I haven't seen any mention of the weird blue explosion during the 0:40 second mark. I was going through frame by frame and saw that one of the first explosions is a clear blue color, the only one of its kind that I've seen in the trailer. Any kind of explanation for this?

And while I'm on the same frames, is there any explanation for why there's a stationary fire in the background, happening before all the other fires began and seemingly not moving?

Here's the three frames the explosion occurs in:

The stationary fire you see in the background (00:00:40 + 11-33 frames) is, I believe, the point of initial impact between the truck and the engine. Note in the shot before this, the camera was filming the engine derail from the same side of the track as this view, having moved forward from the collision point. So in this shot we're now seeing the wreckage behind that engine as it derails, causing the pile up, and I think they're passing the point of the truck collision

From what I can see, the 'blue explosion' you mention appears to be an electrical arc or discharge from something failing underneath the distant boxcar (@ 40 sec. + 20 frames). Mini arc/lightning bolts shoot out of something for just a moment, then diminishing sparks trail out from it.

My question now is: what is that device, since a typical freight car wouldn't have its own power source/generator/gizmo underneath it unless it was perhaps refrigerated. What surprises me (and I didn't catch it before) is the odd-looking way this car explodes (see attached image).

Just after the electronic arc detonates, bright glowing beams shine out from within the freight car, the most visible one through the door gap and also underneath its edge. After that a fiery explosion literally wrinkles the side panels of the car away from the gap with tremendous force and quickly (in the span of 4 frames!).

What could have been in that car that would require some electrical power (shield?), and have detonated in the car on impact like that? Did the electrical "failure" of the initial car impact unleash some other "force" contained within it? And might this possibly relate to the ending scene where the downed power lines arc against the boxcar, "unleashing" whatever's inside it busting out?

Now I'm beginning to wonder if the train was transporting more than one "subject" — eight? — but perhaps only one survives the wreck? This would make the driver's supposed "sacrifice" to destroy the Scariest Things he ever saw 7/8ths successful.

Speculations

Several Ideas:
1. The background animation of the texts in the video is the same for all the texts.
(attached frames enhanced for clarity)

2. can the animation background be connected to the notes in braegen14?

Take a look at the 4 dots on the right of the captions. those align perfectly
So does the "stars" (bright dots)

as i posted earlier (in a not relevant thread):

Several Ideas:
1. The background animation of the texts in the video is the same for all the texts.
(attached frames enhanced for clarity)

2. can the animation background be connected to the notes in braegen14?

PS: i hope the mods will remove the posts in the wrong thread.

More than we know

@FilmEdge

Totally agree that there's a lot to this train, more than just transporting a single entity. But now this begs the obvious question: Why the frick wasn't this train armored? At least there should be some security if they know they're transporting something this powerful. I gotta say, with as little info as we have right now, there are way too many questions, and way too many things to assume.

And about the dots on the title screens, can anyone recognize any constellations? Just tossing that in there. I'm on a mobile phone, so I'm kinda limited right now.

i tried to look at it in different angles.
if it's the same picture, than it must be altered in some way. i didn't manage to get them aligned.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the enhanced frames was the circled part looked a bit like the constellation Cassiopeia, so I started looking at the trailer again, and swear in the unenhanced the dots right about the flare look like part of Orion, one star missing.

Am I just seeing things?
