This page contains some
images of train derailments that I have seen. Some have disagreed with
me on showing wreck images. I do not hold this position. I feel that derailments
are a part of railroading and as such are a valid topic when depicting
the life and operations of railroads and their crews. While most wrecks
depicted here involved only a few minor injuries (or none at all), a few
of the images posted on this page involved the loss of life. This however
does not mean that I wish to glorify the suffering of the crews, friends,
and families involved. I have made it a point not to promote or highlight
these wrecks over any others show here and further have taken measures
to show all images in a newsworthy fashion. Finally, I gain no monetary
advantage from depicting these images and have not been contacted to sell
or include any pictures in a profit making venture. Should you see any
images used in this manner please let me know, as they have been used illegally.
