How did they film the train to train scenes


Coordinating two trains actually traveling side by side would be quite a feat. Also would be hard to contain the camera, crew, lighting, sound equipment, etc. all inside a compartment or even out in the hall.

Of course, building a set to represent the compartment seen close up is done commonly enough. But did they build a mockup of the other train and have it on tracks or rollers so it could move by the compartment from which the scene is viewed? Anybody know?
