Exclusive: Prosecutors in the Midnight Rider trial, set to begin March 9, are looking to become the first ever to convict filmmakers on manslaughter charges. In the 100 years between the death of Sarah Jones and the first film-related deaths — on July 1, 1914, when 16-year-old actress Grace McHugh drowned and cameraman Owen Carter died trying to rescue her while filming a scene for the movie Across The Border – more than 80 people have died in 52 fatal accidents while filming in the U.S. Only two resulted in indictments, none in convictions.

The last time a manslaughter case went before a jury was nearly 30 years ago, in the infamous Twilight Zone case, which ended in the acquittals of director John Landis and four co-defendants. “It was a very difficult case to prosecute,” Lea D’Agostino, the deputy district attorney who prosecuted the Twilight Zone case, later said. “You didn’t have people who went in maliciously to do something.

Filming on railroad tracks can be dangerous; it’s taken two lives in the past year alone. And despite all the news reports about the death of Sarah Jones on the Midnight Rider set and the recent death of Greg Plitt while filming a commercial in Burbank, many myths remain about shooting on railroad tracks.

According to Art Miller, an instructor for the Iatse Rail Safety Awareness training program and one of the industry’s leading experts on railroad safety, there are six common myths about filming on railroad tracks.

There are abandoned tracks throughout the country that are available to filmmakers without permission and for free. “Every track has an owner,” he says, “and working on any track without permission is criminal trespass.”

Sending two production assistants with walkie-talkies out to warn of approaching trains is an effective safety measure. “Only qualified railroad employees assigned to train-control duties can legally control rail traffic,...
