<P> 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 . </P>
