Is this where the phrase "An accident waiting for a place to happen" comes from?

No, but the phrase "cornfield meet" is related to such crashes...

I've worked with a professional instrumentation and testing company over the years to do biodynamic testing on our products annually. One of the owners told us a story of a time he was hired by an Indian (not Indiana-n...a railroad in India) railroad company to crash test a diesel locomotive at high speed. He said it was one of the craziest jobs he's ever been on, and one of the most fun.
This a 1929 crash filmed in Germany. Amazing footage. Don
Remember the nuclear fuel flask tests? I think those guys definitely enjoyed themselves. (Lunch provided...)
What was the locomotive in the New Mexico tests? Fairbanks-Morse?
Both videos were quite awesome. I used to have a couple 3 rail dummy locomotives around here. And I fly model rockets as another hobby. I do have some of those motors on hand. Hmmm LOL

Dan, (it’s Pierre RRT , Long time).
maybe an Estes B-35 engine might do it!
WOOOOSH!
send a movie clip.
I put a B3-6 into an Alpha once. It was last seen drifting over a 31 story apartment building.

The locomotive with the rocket engines look like something Wilie E would have made from ACME products!
