I know the steamies here will cry in their beer over this staged collision. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUc3wd4I ... re=related I had seen small clips of this many times over the years, can see now that it was staged as an event for a State Fair in 1913. Anyone else want to comment on possibly where or what equipment? |

There's not enough information to determine which event this took place at. Believe it or not, staged train collisions were a staple of many large events in the late 1800s and early 1900s-something like 70+ staged collisions between 1890 and 1930 are known to have happened. |
