Another Low Budget Sci Fi Film I Saw Forever Ago -- I FOUND IT!

Here's another film I watched in the late '70s early '80s, probably on KTVU in San Francisco on Bob Wilkins' Creature Features, I think. Or on one of the similar horror/sci-fi late night movie shows.

Some hikers, or campers, or maybe anthropologists are exploring a forest and come across a preserved caveman/bigfoot/neanderthal type of creature. They're examining it and one of them says "did you see that? I could swear his hand moved," or words to that effect. They decide it's obvious it didn't move. It's long dead, maybe even mummified or otherwise ravaged by time.

Anyway, it did move because later it's up and around, and probably terrorizing people. Who's to say? I only remember the scene described above.

Please to help?

There was a Hammer film called Horror Express (i think), with Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee & randomly Telly Servallis as a ninja or something just as strange !
They find a human-like creature found in permafrost in China and transport it back into Europe on a train where it defrosts, wakes up & kills most of featured cast.

****SPOILER BELOW****

I think it ends with the train being diverted and crashing from an unfinished line into a canyon.
