@cbseveningnews: As we head into one of the last weekends of summer, @John Dickerson looks back at an American summer pastime that was totally off the rails - crashing trains. #train #news #reportersnotebook #history

Joshua Shanks :

Now we just vote and get the same results…

WENDIGO :

We had such culture.

Debbie :

That is one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. And that so many people would show up to watch knowing they would get hurt? Pure insanity. Oh my gosh, that was crazy.

fredrichardson508 :

This makes MMA, monster trucks, WWE and the roller derby look like a child's game of tag, or hide and go seek. People were a lot cooler than they're given credit for, in the 1930's. A true reality show!

Kilgore Trout :

We used to be a proper country

1122 :

the 20s and 30s were absolutely unhinged! first I learn about the dance marathons to the death, and now this????

johnschimmel7 :
