Ойын-сауық
Today, we delve into an intriguing chapter of history often left unexplored: the vintage train wrecks of the early 1900s.
During this era, steam locomotives were the titans of transportation, creating vital connections between distant cities and small towns. Yet, with this incredible innovation came great risks, leading to some of the most catastrophic rail accidents of the time.
In this video, we present a unique collection of images, showcasing the chaos and destruction that befell the railways in this period. These photographs, many of which are being shown for the first time, offer a haunting glimpse into the past, capturing moments of havoc that shook communities to their core.
Our film is a compelling mosaic of historical train disasters, where each photograph narrates a tale of adversity and the enduring spirit of those affected.
To enhance the authenticity of these poignant moments, many images have been carefully colorized, breathing new life into the scenes and connecting us more deeply with the experiences of those who lived through them.
Embark on this journey with us as we uncover the hidden stories of rail tragedies from the early 1900s, and witness the strength and resilience that emerged from the wreckage.

4:09 this is no picture from an accident; its a scene out of Buster Ceaton`s movie "The General". Okay, the film was shot in 1926, and probably in Oregon?

Southern Oregon, about 1/2 mile east of I-5. South of Cottage Grove, If I remember correctly. Its just upstream of the real rail line. A spur line and bridge were built to get the shot used in the movie.

Super. 💙 T.E.N.
it wasnt the trains that where unsafe it was a lot of negligence on the employees that did them
I'd question one or two of your dates - photo 4, for example, that's a very, very old engine - a balloon stacked woodburner with a nameplate, for 1911. Similarly at 5.20, they seem quite old engines for 1953. Some pictures are familiar - the coaches dangling from fallen bridges - but none the worse for that.
I see you've got the very 1st moving image made by the Lumiere Brothers "Train Entering a Station', I've got the same same movie. But you've gone 1 bit better by superimposing it in colour. Nice
Do you have a website or facebook page with the colorized photos of the train wrecks? If so, I'd love to see it with the full pictures in color.
Надзвичайна техніка !!! Шкода , кожна могла бути у музею

No - most likely the man moved during the exposure

Some questionable dates, but that’s an amazing collection of historical pictures. Fortunately rail safety has improved quite a lot since then.
1930ies? Most of those colorized movies were from 1890 - 1910. Steam engines look very different in thec1930ies except those in the UK

But possibly this accidents happened with locomotives from this above mentioned period during the 1930ies. Locos usually have a long service life-

@tertiusimpostor right, but 1945 and 1956 are not in the 1930i3s. And most of the American type 4-4-0 steam engines were withdrawn from service by 1905. And the poses of the people on the colorozid pics are more from the 1905-15 period. Tells you and retired railroad expert and photographer.

1:46 Hell you talking about 1894? Everything in this photo is clearly from a later year!

It's a shame, the colors are often very unrealistic...
