filming moved to atlanta, georgia for the final phase. wenham and his team transformed a defunct train yard into an abandoned auto plant used by the protagonists as their headquarters. redesigning the train yard took place over several months. it was required to allow enough space for stunt drivers to drive into the building, and it had to include an integrated lighting system. the design team removed walls, hauled out old railway cars, suspended rusted car parts and auto-plant car rails, and constructed smaller buildings within the main building to transform the site. with twenty-five pages of script to shoot in a limited time, cinematographer stephen windon and his team spent three weeks setting up a series of high-powered, motorized lights in the rafters of the building, that could be controlled remotely to allow lighting to be altered quickly while fully illuminating the set. an exterior scene involving diesel and walker attending a car party, involving several high-performance cars, was filmed near the georgia dome. the train heist scene was filmed in rice, california over three weeks.
