The Juggernaut is a silent train disaster drama film produced by the Vitagraph Company of America and released on April 19, 1915.

Red Hogan (Jack Brawn), the chief of the gang, would have killed Philip, but John rushes in and breaks a chair over his head.

Chester Jordon (Paul Scardon), one of the company's largest shareholders, has real control of the line and is maximizing profits by cutting maintenance and safety measures.

When the film was released in Britain, the happy ending was retained but greatly shortened, with Louise waking up just after being dragged ashore.

[2] To produce this scene, Director Ralph Ince found an old quarry about a mile away from a railroad that could be transformed into a believable riverbed.

For the train, an old engine from the scrap heap and three old passenger cars were brought up, painted, and converted into what looked like a functioning locomotive.

[3] Before filming of the scene could properly start, crowds of people who came from the surrounding areas to watch the shoot were found standing within the shot.

The train was going at a steady pace of fifteen miles an hour once the driver had bailed out, but before it could make it to the river the engine sped up to double that speed, risking it derailing.

The danger of a derailment caused some of the crowd to move out of position, but the train made it to the river and promptly crashed while splashing one of the cameras overlooking the event.

Four actors working for the Vitagraph Company, including Rose Dugan, Mary Green, Earle Williams, and Dick Ardmore were nearly killed due to injuries sustained while swimming across the quarry to shore.
