Hmmm. The movie starring the same actor who starred in Jaws, where he 
steals the blue military helicopter, and eventually sets it down on the 
tracks in front of the freight train when he runs out of fuel.  (Altho I 
suppose one could argue in that case he was already way more screwed 
than the trouble a simple thing like derailing a train would get him 
into. :-)

I think one of the Final Destination movies had the car getting hit by 
the train and the train not stopping.

I just don't remember *any* scene where someone gets hit by a train and 
the train stops.  Except the Matrix (the subway train bit), which 
doesn't really count, as one can reasonably assume it was the person who 
got hit by the train that stopped the train.
