What ever happened to railroad disasters? It used to be on A&E every once in a while. Is it ever on anymore? Its not the most positive perspective of trains, but theres really not a whole lot more out there.

I think the series has been rebranded on The History Channel under other titles using parts of interviews from the show. The most recent incarnation I think is related to that was part of "Wild West Tech" which featured railroad disasters of the 19th and early 20th century. It's worth a look if you get the chance.

I havnt seen any of those shows in a long time either. I used to catch the shows whenever they were on A&E.
thinking about that wreck was that the fly ash train that lost its brakes and went off the curve and into a local nabor hood?? followed by a high presher gas explostion weeks after the mess was cleaned up??
