The train used in back to the future 3 was the same train that was used in the tv show petticoat junction.

less realistic

But the reason it's in the movie is because it happened. It's probably one of the most real things in the movie.

    I don't think the stuntman caught a lower ledge. They edited together shots to convey the ledge-catching. I don't know if it's humanly possible to have the finger strength to even do that... catch a ledge with just your fingers once you've fallen several feet? (If someone could prove me wrong I'd be delighted and impressed)

    here's the stunt (3:38–3:44)

    I've also heard that in Alan Rickman's final scene, the director called for the release of his harness early (as in hitting the quick release on the 1 of a 3-count). As a result, the look of fear on Alan Rickman's face is genuine. From Rickman's perspective, the stunt initiated unexpectedly.

    If true, another bit of realism appears right there on Rickman's shocked face.
