Some time ago there was a post here for a u-tube thing on railroad safety. It began with two standard gauge trains having a head on accident. I would say it was done in the 40's.
Does anyone know where I can find it?

The film is on YouTube: "Safe Roads 1935 - A Chevrolet Safety Film (Railroad Themed)".

Here's the link:

It starts with vintage shots of real trains and then shows a standard Gauge head-on collision. Corny, but fun!

Around 1:10 for those counting. Looks like some improvised smoke units... or do you know something I don't?
