The Alpha Incident

It is possible that the train station and train footage were shot in Tomahawk, WI, since there are no railroad tracks anywhere near Gleason. The studio The Shooting Ranch, where the interiors were shot, was owned by director Bill Rebane. It was torn down sometime in the 1980s. In the final credits it thanks the town of Tomahawk and Lincoln County for their cooperation.

There are no end doors on boxcars so the persons riding the caboose would have no way to enter the boxcar while the train is moving. In fact standard boxcars cannot be accessed while the train is moving.
