Thanks for sharing, as a father of soon to be 4 that helps.
That's why this train wreck is in the movie "Super 8".

Here is the train wreck scene from The Greatest Show on Earth.

Other than the Shallow Depth of Field the train wreck still hold up well. I would like to know the scale they used for the train and what ever happened to them. Don
Yep, I knew that! Saw the "Super 8" film as well, but didn't think much of it (although the folks I was with enjoyed it). Different strokes for different folks!
James,
Very interesting, and thanks to Don and Ben for the video links. (I have watched both movies, forgotten much of TGSOE, so its time to order the DVD's!)
Thanks for posting!

Even with 50-some odd years difference, Greatest Show on Earth's train wreck was more convincing than Super 8's.
