One additional factoid about the staged Crush Collision described in the 9/10 Newswire. Most of you have probably heard of Scott Joplin, the famous ragtime composer. who wrote the "Maple Leaf Rag", "The Entertainer", and many other pieces. One of his earliest published compositions was "The Great Crush Collision March" (1896), which is "dedicated to the M.K. & T. Ry". The piece comes complete with a musical train crash. It's not written as ragtime, but was almost certainly played as a rag when performed.
Just another piece of totally useless information.

Yeah, but it's fun...

No information is useless. Who knows, maybe tomorrow someone might ask me about this. Just imagine how smart they will think I am when I give them my reply. So thank you...

Far more interesting and useful than many threads.

The next time someone suggests I stage a head-on train collision, I will point out the potential danger.
Still in training.
