52:40 Regarding the $2 round trip tickets: You've also got to factor in that Texas is big. Like, *really* big. Like, if someone out in, say, El Paso in the far west on the New Mexico border, or in Galveston down on the Gulf Coast, wanted to attend this event, that's easily a full day's journey one way; it'd be about half a day even today by car. So just $2 for what amounted to a 2-day train journey *and* you get to see this spectacular event and basically a mini state fair on top of that? That's a hell of a good deal! It would be roughly the equivalent of paying $60 for a round trip bus fare and free admission to the Indianapolis 500 from as far away as Denver, Colorado. 52:49 "They did build a town." "This was back when railroads could just do that.": As far back as the 1870's you could order basically all of the buildings you'd need for a frontier town from the Sears Roebuck catalog, and they would deliver your whole town to you anywhere in the country by train in prefabricated wood panels and assemble it free of charge. 1:00:27 "Me und my Fraulin!": Just wanna point out that Texas German is actually a recognized dialect of German and that was remarkably close to it. Good show, Roz. 1:04:42 "Big plate of spaghetti.": Eh, in this case less spaghetti and more two big steel balloons popping. As mentioned before, boiler explosions are fun; you know it's not gonna be good, but you never know exactly how it's going to kill you. Is the boiler just gonna vomit its insides out? Is it gonna launch itself like a rocket? Is it gonna launch itself straight up and land on the train car behind it? Is it gonna just go *POP* and tear itself to shreds? 1:09:28 Pretty sure this image is from a different staged train crash. You can pretty clearly see the end platforms of what are obviously passenger coaches, not the boxcars used at Crush.

Great episode, but Justin did the classic collision velocity error with what speed the trains hit each other. If both trains have a speed of 45mph, in opposite directions, then assuming they have roughly equivalent mass, they each experienced a collision decelerating from 45mph to 0mph, not 90mph to 0 mph. Their speeds relative to each other were 90mph (in opposite directions) but that doesn't mean they each experienced an equivalent collision of hitting an immovable wall at 90mph. if they had, they each train would have bounced backwards at 45mph. Granted, I'm not talking about the ejection of train viscera from the boilers exploding.

As a TN resident I find it hilarious that I watched all those people flip out and panic buy gasoline but no ones heard of “the crack” before I mention it. That bridge is a far larger problem for our state than the pipeline. I40 traffic is vitally important to the economy of the state and shipping on the river is vital to not only our state but the nation. Part of the issue may be the reporting of it as a “crack” which sounds far less severe than reality. Plus they’re diverting traffic to the much older, smaller bridge upriver, which of course doesn’t sound like it could possibly lead to issues🙄

I was part of the 24 Hours of Lemons Texas Rattlesnake rally, and this was the day 1 bonus stop.

I've been listening since episode 3 and Liam's contributions lately (including this episode) have been absolutely on fire. YAY LIAM

Ahhhh! I literally shouted "That's the Inyo!!!" when it appeared onscreen at 38:09. It lives at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City, and they have the occasional event where they run it around the loop at the museum. It's also appeared in several movies.
