Unstoppable movie why runaway train did not gett off the track, if the switch was turned other lane ( i mean train with children was directed to side lane). I dont know what type switch in america railways used, but in my country if train is directed to side lane and switch stays same position then main lane (that means opposite direction) coming train cuts switch off and drives off the lane.

I didn't see the movie, so I have to guess at what you are talking about. In the USA all switches are the same. A train coming the opposite way when a switch is turned against it will "force the point" -- simply push the rails aside without a problem. Like this:
