* In ''IronManArmoredAdventures'', Iron Man does both the push and pull versions in the pilot. He first attempts to stop a four-car train from the front. This particular model has a door on the front, though, so it just collapses under his weight. Then he disconnects the other cars so he can pull the first to a stop. This doesn't work completely, but he slows it down enough to lift it into the air once it flies off the unfinished track.

* In ''{{Hancock}}'', Hancock saves Ray by stopping a train from hitting his car. Somewhat like the trope picture, Hancock is a FlyingBrick and straight up halts the train rather than slowing it gradually. As a result, he instead causes the train to derail badly, presumably injuring or killing the crew and causing hundreds of thousands in damages and cleanup - Ray points that it would have been much easier to just lift the car off the track.

* In ''{{Film/Spider-Man}} 2'', Doc Ock rips the breaks out of a train, and leaves Spidey to stop it. He jumps to the front of the train, and gives it three tries: First, he tries brute force via putting his foot down on the tracks. This doesn't work, and hurts like hell. Then he tries firing weblines on either side. The train quickly breaks out. Then he fires a dozen weblines on each side, to spread out the force, which eventually does stop the train, but only after nearly pulling Spidey apart.
