Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Rail Disasters is a Train Simulator series simulating and recreating the events of real world train accidents
Episode 23: Railroad Sabotage
Two passenger train derailments occur just decades apart in the Western United States with a common suspected cause, sabotage.
Part 1: City of San Francisco, 1939
On August 12, 1939, the luxury streamliner "City of San Fransisco derails at 90mph just outside Harden, Nevada along Southern Pacific trackage killing 24 and injuring 121. Investigators would find tools near the site to find tools, suspecting it was sabotage.
Part 2: Palo Verde, Arizona, 1995
On October 9, 1995, Amtrak's Sunset Limited en route to Calfironia derails just outside Palo Verde, AZ killing a sleeping car attendant and injuring 78 others. Investigators would find misaligned rail and notes from a suspected terror organization linking the wreck to be deliberate.

    Nicely done. There is a very interesting and horrific accident that occurred on March 27, 1953 on the 4 track NY Central Water Level Route involving 4 trains, one from each set of tracks, 2 freight & 2 high speed passenger. I would love to see a reenactment of that accident.

    Sadly, none of the engines from the '39 sabotage survived. (Correction: some DID survive but what I mean is they were scrapped years later so only the engines inside the engines survived. 😥) Don't know about the ones from the '95 derailment, though. 😐
