BELLAIRE, Ohio -- Day number 2 of the shooting of the action adventure "Unstoppable" brings more people and more action to the usually quiet "All American Town."

The flashing lights of fire trucks, ambulances and police cruisers provided traffic control at many intersections.

The takes are brief, some one minute long.

In between takes, people are free to walk, talk and gawk.

But when they are shooting, everything stops.

The Janet Uchbar home, which has been chosen for some interior scenes, is also being used for some exterior shooting from the back patio.

Film cameras are frequently carried from one location to the next.

In face, all kinds of gear are being moved from place to place.

Dave Slie of Bellaire has briefly leased out the rights to his front porch.

"Last summer, I had a guy knock on my door," recalls Slie. "He said he was from 20th Century Fox, the film Unstoppable, and he wanted to look at my house. And he walked through my house and looked through my windows and did some things (indicating framing with hands) that movie people do, and asked me if I'd be interested in letting them through the house and I said sure. And about a month ago I got contacted again by a location manager and he said he'd like me to sign a contract to use my porch to shoot toward the railroad tracks. They thought my house was a good angle for the movie and everything so I said sure, go ahead, and here we are today!"

The train that figures prominently in the plot line of "Unstoppable" was in the railyard in Benwood for most of the day, officials said.

The movie's art department has made subtle changes in the neighborhood--like putting up a clothesline loaded with colorful clothing, and creating a window on one side of the Uchbar house that does not actually exist.

Neighbors say the changes are so natural-looking, it's hard to realize that things do not always look like that.
