Would like to point out that the first 10 seconds were shot at Heritage Park in my home city of Calgary, Alberta!

My dad worked for Abex Corp. a company having roots with the American Brakeshoe and Foundry Company. They held a lot of patents for railroad equipment and brakeshoes and they are still around today.

Id rather seen more train crashes than listening to the history of the man who thought of it.

Nice presentation. Full of information and great images. Makes a lovely change from the "idiocracy" model of documentary making that is so prevalent in the US (yes, History Channel, I AM looking at you).

None of the railroad companies ever thought about the risk of a boiler explosion? People wouldn't have climbed over a pile of gunpowder barrels if they knew there was a slow-match burning somewhere in the pile.

When I lived near a fabulous old amusement park the penny arcade had a mutoscope machine with a movie of an old staged locomotive collision. It may have been this one.

Did you know, that only one of all these giant steel wheels (Chicago, Paris, London etc. world's faires) survived? It is located in Vienna, Austria and still working.

2:26 - The Ferris wheel had 36 cars, each carrying 60 people. Uh, that's 2,160 people. I highly doubt that.

Lets be honest. EVERY train fan has wanted to smash a couple of 4-8-8-4's together at 60 mph. Gomez Addams wasn't a freak, he was just real.

No desire to see any steam destroyed. Could crash these blah comfort cabs all day long, but I wouldn't pay to see it.

It is odd to hear a promotions person making a fortune by invention, usually inventors are quiet people who work very hard to make an improvement. While promoters - well to be kind - are usually involved with selling things that cost nothing and are also worth nothing. Say advertising or similar. Dallying with underage girls seems to fit the promoter part very well

Very weird. Typing "Alfred Lincoln Streeter" in quotes into google should provide every single example of this name in googles archive. The only two results are this video... There's no way this guy just made this up and photoshopped fake newspaper articles..
