QUOTE: Originally posted by jecorbett In the early part of the 20th century, train wrecks were staged for spectator amusement. More accurately, they were loco wrecks. Locos that had outlived their usefullness would be sacrificed for the show. Engineers would fire up the steamers and start them on a collision course and then jump off before they got going too fast. Then the locos would continue toward a head on collision at a predetermined point. These were real crowd pleasers and there is actually film footage of some of them. I guess this had the same sort of appeal as building implosions do in modern times.
