Trains Derailments, Crashes and Wrecks: Disasters on the High Iron (Classic Train Series)

Train wrecks. Railroaders fear the most terrifying and deadly thing that can occur on the rails. Cars and locomotives as large as a house and weighing many tons can inflict massive damage and death when they fly through the air or slide uncontrollably across the ground, mowing down anything in their path.

Cars and engines may burst into flames or even explode. Crew members, passengers, and even bystanders can be injured or killed. Railroads and trains are inherently dangerous - and should always be treated with the utmost respect and caution.

This DVD documents train derailments, crashes and wrecks from the years 1934 to 2011. The often shocking footage comes from public archives and the Green Frog Collection. Viewer discretion advised - some content may not be suitable for children.
