Given that this is all fancy and computer controlled, and that it could stop in a heartbeat due to low friction.

What if cyber-baddies hacked the controls and remotely yanked on the brakes when it was at full speed, you could squash everyone in the train without it hitting anything.

There's a nice B-Movie script there

I think that's gonna have to be a z-list movie.

Dude, Armageddon was a blockbuster!

'Death, @374MPH!' Could be a winner, will star Emily Blunt, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for sure.
