The Crash at Crush

[ezdays]

There was a show on one of the "Discover" or "Travel" channels about train wrecks and this was one of the ones they showed. It's been a while, but I do believe they showed a bunch of stills, and maybe some re-enactments, but they did say it was the last one of these crashes the railroad had ever staged. guess they had enough real ones to keep then occupied.

Thanks for bringing this up, it does show how foolhardy and dangerously they did things back then. And BiL and Ed are right, today we might have viewed this behind 3" thick lexan about 100 yards away with $5,000,000 in safety gear attached and with crash dummies running things instead of just plain dummies...
