Continuity: Almost at the end of the movie, Warden Ranken is trying to board the plane hanging from a ladder of a helicopter, and Manny is yelling to him through the right windshield of the second locomotive, the old F7 streamliner. If you look closely when the camera shoots from the inside of the loco and forward through the windshield, you will see that the first engine is gone.
Edit
Continuity: When Manny first sees the train they're going to board, they walk a short distance alongside the train as it's moving. Pay attention, and you will see that the second locomotive, the F7, is missing. The first locomotive is now coupled to the third locomotive, even though the F7 was there in the shot before and is back in the next shot.

Deliberate "mistake": The entire plot wouldn't exist without this one, but just before the engineer stumbles out the door and falls off, he pulls the big red lever on the left side of the cab. In the real world this puts the air brake system into its emergency mode. Among other things, this mode trips a solenoid which causes the engine to return to idle, and the electrical system to not put out power. Neither the Diesel engine nor the electrical system will respond to control inputs until/unless the air system is reset.

Continuity: When Warden Ranken first goes to see Manny in his cell, he is walking down a prison corridor with prison cells on the left side of the camera and the prison wall on the other side. And when he is coming back from Manny's cell, he is coming down the same corridor. The problem is only that he is going the same direction as he was when he was going TO Manny's cell.

Continuity: Towards the end of the film, in the control room, as the guys are arguing about what to do, the man sitting at the computer terminal is wearing a sweater over his shirt and a black watch. The older man says something, then goes over to the terminal, but now the guy's sweater is off and his watch is in front of him on the desk.
