Mountain Top
This crash from "WeAreSinking" shows how a
well aimed crash can end up looking very ammusing.
8/10 6/12/2004 |
  |
Now you see it, now you dont
"a supercharged loco slamming into 10 Flying
Scotsmans. The loco actually travelled THROUGH four of the Scotsmans
before the crash." Interesting stuff from Tom.

Factory Smash
Tom smashed his RailAmerica freight train into
a factory at over 150mph
8/10 6/12/2004 |


 |
Simple apparently
"This
crash basically shows what happens when a freight train crashes into a
bufferstop at 220 MPH. Enjoy."
Great work Tom, and I see some of the wreckage even
made it into a river ;)
9/10 6/12/2004 |

 |
Mounted
This crash I did myself, on the Brighton - Portsmouth route. I took a
South West Trains 12CIG and approached Portsmouth & Southsea at around
60mph (the limit is 15). The middle of the train derailed with the rear
section mounting the stopped coaches before rolling down the embankment.
8/10 6/12/2004 |

 |
Too close
Tom crashed a number of locos within a tunnel at 160mph. And we all know
how well MSTS handles tunnels and crashes!
9/10 6/12/2004 |

 |
Crash Bang Wallop... Splash?
"An Acela Express ramming three locos on a
bridge causing two of the locos to fall into the water with one sinking
completely and the other barely breaking the surface." Great stuff Tom
9/10 6/12/2004 |
  |
Run out
Again from Tom, this time he ran out of track at over 100mph so his Amtrak
train ended up scattered across a field.
7/10 6/12/2004 |
  |
Smashed
Here Tom has smashed an Acela train into 3 diesel locos. Simple but
effective.
7/10 6/12/2004 |

 |
VIA the river
Tom sent this VIA passenger train into his
favourite river, creating a nice big mess.
8/10 6/12/2004 |
 |
Three of a kind
This crash from JarOfWar simply has 3 BNSF
diesels getting to know each other better!
7/10 26/11/04 |
 |
Never build a house next to the tracks
A simple title and warning from JarOfWar,
that's the second house wasted in this update! Nice work!
9/10 26/11/04 |

 |
It's outta here
"Here's a crash I just did. I rammed a train
into two other trains and then had a fourth train derail seconds apart" I
love the wagon simply floating on the left of the second shot, nice
stuff."
8/10 26/11/04 |
 
 |
CP Crashes
"Here are two crashes I did earlier today. The first involves running my
supercharged CP AC4400 into a passenger train at 1766 MPH. The second
involves uncoupling a train pulled by the same loco then hitting the
brakes at over 500 MPH." Nice work Tom.
7/10 26/11/04 |
   |
Unexpected
"Here's a crash that I wasn't expecting. I was driving a train which was
really four trains end to end and I was slowing down when I saw that the
loco of the third train derail and jack-knife. At the time, the first
train had a supercharged locomotive on the head end and I was in reverse,
so I backed into the wreck creating an even bigger wreck. I hope I haven't
confused you, but enjoy..." The shots speak for themselves Tom.
9/10 26/11/04 |


 |
Chase Crash
Tom decided to showcase the 1987 crash at
Chase involving three Conrail diesels and an Amtrak train. As train sim
goes, its a nice enough crash!
8/10 26/11/04 |

 |
I can't see my house from here!
Tom got CB&Q freight train and smashed it into
a house at over 170mph leaving this massive pile up and tailback of
destruction!
10/10 26/11/04 |
  |
FactoryGrinder
Tom crashed a rail grinding train into a
factory at over 200mph sending bits and pieces everywhere!
8/10 26/11/04 |

  |
Train of tomorrow
Apparently the trains of tomorrow will feature
waterproofing just in case Tom gets to drive them! A supercharged loco
ended up flying into the air and into a river. That's gravity for you Tom!
9/10 26/11/04 |
  |
Bufferstopped 1
This crash from Tom has a commuter train
smashing through a buffer stop at over 90mph
8/10 15/11/04 |

  |
Bufferstopped 2
Tom smashed through another bufferstop just
this time in a VIA train and at over 125mph!
Nice stuff.
8/10 15/11/04 |
      |
Ram it
"Here are two more crashes involving ramming a VIA train into something.
This time, it's a roadrailer train led by my one tonne locomotive. Enjoy."
Looks like Tom had a smashing time!
I think I will give up on the jokes for this page. Nice work Tom!
9/10 15/11/04 |



 |
The Train Of Tomorrow, crashing today
"I crashed one of my supercharged locomotives
into the Train of Tomorrow at over 400 MPH. The loco bounced right off the
tracks after it hit and derailed."
Good stuff Tom!
8/10 15/11/04 |

 |
Back at the factories
Tom returned to smashing up the factories in
MSTS this time with VIA train ramming into one at just under 90mph
7/10 15/11/04 |

 |
Amtrak Buffer
Tom took his Amtrak train and found an
elevated bufferstop to smash into at over 100mph.
9/10 15/11/04 |

 |
A bridge too far
"Here's a crash I just did. I crashed the
Bombardier Jet train into another train on a bridge while going at 138 MPH
and knocked the loco and first coach of the train I hit off the bridge.
Enjoy." Nice work Tom!
9/10 3/11/04 |

 |
Outsized II
Bored with ramming freight wagons, Tom moved
on to ramming UFO's with a VIA passenger train.
8/10 3/11/04 |



 |
Subway shove
This came in from Tom as he attempted to show
what happened with a certain accident on the Toronto subway system. "A
subway train was sideswiped by a work train, however, when I tried to
recreate the crash, one car fell over, even though I hit at 20 MPH.".
7/10 3/11/04 |

 |
Outsized
Tom sent in this interesting crash of him ramming a single freight wagon
with a VIA passenger train. Not sure who came off worse though!
8/10 3/11/04 |
 |
Upside down
I am not sure if this is the new Eurostar
London Central line, but either way this shot from JarOfWar is amusing.
7/10 3/11/04 |
 |
Side tunnel
JarOfWar sent in this crash simply with the
words "JarOfWar is back on track!" I think that should be "is totally off
the rails" ;)
10/10 3/11/04 |

 |
That river
Tom found his favourite river again and crashed a passenger train into it
at 80mph. Ever get that sinking feeling?
8/10 3/11/04 |

 |
Rammed Tom
rammed a train at over 740kmh into a bufferstop making it fly over the
Ribblehead viaduct. Good stuff!
8/10 3/11/04 |

 |
What goes up...
Tom found one of his favourite bufferstops at
600mph to create this. Very nice work indeed.
9/10 22/10/04 |

 |
Simple
Again from Tom: "crash involves a train being pulled by the Bombardier Jet
Train locomotive crashing into a bufferstop at 115 MPH".
8/10 22/10/04 |

 |
Odd?
Tom emailed this crash in "
an Amtrak train being led by my supercharged EWS Class 56. I uncoupled the
EWS unit at over 300 MPH and hit the brakes. This time when the coaches
hit, something odd happened which resulted in the view that you see."
I like it when something odd happens in MSTS, its
usually a good thing!
8/10 22/10/04
|
 |
Ribblehead Mess
This crash was from an activity Charles is
making... "At about 70mph, the FGW HST hits a Scotsman set, hitting our
Intercity/Great Western HST. Then, two 57's top 'n' tailing MK3 set and
another Scotsman set hit." The end result is a very large mess!
9/10 14/10/04 |


 |
A bridge too far
This great crash sent in by Tom "I was driving
a commuter train at over 120 MPH when I uncoupled the first loco and hit
the breaks; letting the rest of the train hit the loco. The loco and first
car derailed and fell off a bridge. The second and third cars derailed but
remained coupled to the rest of the train as it carried on." Great timing
with the screenshots again!
9/10 14/10/04 |
 |
Collided
Tom sent this one in where it "involves a train running off the end of the
line and through a building". Makes a bit of a mess too!
9/10 14/10/04 |
  |
What goes up must come down
This crash from Tom has a passenger train
taking to the skies at over 100mph and what seems to be a shot of it after
it slowed down from that speed!
8/10 14/10/04 |

 |
James The Dead Engine
Liam decided to "pretend" that the breaks on
his engine had failed, but this time it was the classic children's engine,
James (The red engine) which ends up buried in a bufferstop at over 60mph.
7/10 9/10/04 |


 |
Ribblehurt
This big crash is from Tom after he smashed a diesel train into the back
of the Flying Scotsman at over 750km/h!! A great timed first screenshot
gets this a top rating!
10/10 9/10/04 |
 |
We're running out of...
This crash from Tom has another commuter train
thats trying to make its own way up a hill with no track
8/10 30/9/04 |

 |
Lumberjack
This derail from Tom shows a Amtrak train
smashing into each other and crashing into the trees along the side of the
railway.
8/10 30/9/04 |

 |
Flipping Heck!
"I crashed a VIA train on the S&C route into a
bufferstop at 245 mph and these three pics are the result." Another great
timed shot shows the train flipping into the air. Great stuff!
10/10 30/9/04 |

 |
Buffer Stopped
Tom was running an Amtrak train on the S&C
route when he managed to find a buffer stop at around 100mph. Again a very
nice screenshot!
9/10 30/9/04 |

 |
Uphill Struggle
Tom was running a commuter train in push mode.
Sadly he pushed a little to hard and the train went off the end of the
track and ended up halfway up a hill.
8/10 30/9/04 |


 |
Steam crash
This detailed crash from Tom Jankowski
happened because the train he was driving went through a bufferstop at
90mph making the train go off in 3 different places. Great timed
screenshots too!
9/10 30/9/04 |
 |
Sunk Tom
sent in this Amtrak crash with the resulting train sunk in that most used
of rivers in MSTS.
8/10 30/9/04 |
 |
Upside down
This was sent in by Marcel Hodiamont and shows
a great derail of a Acela HHP8 ending up on its roof.
8/10 30/9/04 |
 |
Smoke on the water
Tom sent this watery crash in after a steam
freight train derailed and went straight into his favourite river.
7/10 13/9/04 |

 |
Supercharged Orient
This crash from Tom has his supercharged EWS
Class 56 pulling the Orient Express hitting a bufferstop at over 310mph.
You can see the distance the coaches flew from the impact!
9/10 13/9/04 |
 |
Towed off
From Charles, this crash has a FGW HST being pulled by a Class 47 but
unfortunatly they both ended up smashing through a bufferstop.
7/10 5/09/04 |
 |
Occupied
Charles sent this crash in showing two
HST's crashing into oneanother and then spilling into a class 47 train on
the other side, the result leaves the two HST's taking over most of the
town!
9/10 5/09/04 |
 |
Tunnel Explosion
Another extreme crash from JarofWar showing
a vast amount of wagons and engines flying out of the entrance of a tunnel
into the sky. Very nice.
9/10 31/8/04 |


 |
And it's outta here
This crash from Tom shows the muscle of a
diesel smashing into the Flying Scotsman at over 370kmh resulting in
coaches flying everywhere. Both locos ended up in different locations as
you can see.
9/10 31/8/04 |
 
|
U - W.O.T?
I try to mark all the crashes fairly, but this scores marks just for being
silly. Tom sent these two in of his old UFO Train crashing into the hills
of MSTS. Its a bizarre world, maybe these aliens were trying to escape?
8/10 31/8/04 |
 |
Pen and Pet
Charles " took a Virgin Pendolino at about
100mph towards Oxenholme, where I saw a EWS Class 37 pulling 14 petrol
wagons coming towards me on the same track." The results show parts of the
train rolling down the hill.
8/10 31/8/04 |
 |
The end is upon us
Charles derailed this top/tail 86/90
freight train on the West Coast after finding exactly where the end of the
line was.
6/10 31/8/04 |
 |
Crystal clear
This was sent in from Charles: "I was driving an Intercity Class 47
'Woman's Royal Voluntary Service' with a MK2 set when I found the end of
the Crystal Palace line. The carriages seemed to bend up as the train
crashed, making it a rather odd, not your daily, run to Crystal Palace."
7/10 23/8/2004
|

 |
To the factory and beyond
Tom sent this crash in using his Acela and EWS
consist, finding another factory and smashing it at a ridiculous speed,
again over 300mph!
8/10 23/8/2004 |

 |
Conrailed
Tom sent in this crash of a Conrail train jumping what seems to be his
favourite river.
8/10 23/8/2004
|

_small.JPG)
_small.jpg) |
That river
It seems Mark has found Tom's river, but this time he has attacked it with
a subway train, maybe this was the trials for the Channel Tunnel?
7/10 23/8/2004 |

 |
Blam This
big derail from Tom shows a Acela train smashing into a factory at over
330mph and he has confirmed there is a EWS 56 being smashed in that as
well... not sure why but great stuff
8/10 23/8/2004 |
 |
Caboose Party
This crash from JarOfWar simply shows a
massive close derail with BNSF locos and cabooses pilled up, quality!
9/10 23/8/2004 |

 |
MBTA
Tom was driving a MBTA commuter train with a streetcar and diesel loco
leading. Around one curve on the Tokyo-Hakone route, I the commuter train
became uncoupled and derailed while the streetcar continued on.
7/10 23/8/2004
|
 |
Alright for the driver
This derail from Charles shows that the One
Class 90 loco got to the staion fine (well sort of) but the rest of the
coaches are in a sorry state (no not the naff livery, the crash ;) )
8/10 18/8/04 |
 |
Did we just hit a bufferstop?
This again from Charles, this time with a One
Anglia class 90 being dragged by an Intercity livery Class 47 end up in a
field!
9/10 18/8/04 |
 |
Clean up! A
Virgin West Coast service pulled by a Class 87 smashes into Mannintree
station, I bet the people who parked their cars there are very happy with
this one from Charles!
8/10 18/8/04 |
 |
Eurocrash
This crash from Charles shows the GNER Eurostar ploughing through the
buferstop at Harwich(apparently).
7/10 18/8/04 |
 |
Tree Route
This derail from Mark has a train loaded with cars, derailing on a tight
curve and hiding the loco in the surrounding trees.
6/10 18/8/04 |

 |
Service to mars
These two crashes came from Charles who
crashed both the Virgin Pendolino and the GNER 225. Both hit a bufferstop
at over 105mph after only running 7miles. Apparently the Pendolino was
about ready to take off at serious speed, where as most of the 225
disappeared!
8/10 18/8/04 |
 |
I want to break free
Fam sent this crash in of the Jet Train after
it reached the end of the line, it also nearly reached Mach1. "Either it
fell off the edge of the world or went directly into space!"
8/10 18/8/04 |

 |
Going going gone
This crash from Tom has the Flying Scotsman
being rammed backwards by a passenger diesel service. The resulting impact
threw the diesel coaches down the Ribblehead valley leaving only one coach
and the loco itself, whereas the Flying Scotsman sits slightly derailed on
the edge!
8/10 18/8/04 |


 |
Is that what I think it is?
This crash from Tom "occurred when I was
reversing at over 260 MPH over a switch. The front half of the train
inexplicably derailed while the rear portion went ahead". Is that a EWS
Class 56 in the middle of it all? Good work!
8/10 18/8/04 |
 |
Oops This
crash caught me off guard, I was testing our Class 43 sounds on a HST and
without realising it I had totally derailed and gone airborne. Oops...
8/10 12/8/04 |



 |
Speed + Buffer =...
This big up close derail is from Liam who has
sent in the results of a Thalys train smashing into a buffer stop at
199Mph. The crash caused the train to flip into the air and eventually
land in wall of a house. Very nice work.
10/10 12/8/04 |
 |
Devastating steam
This crash is from Liam who created his own
crash activity to make this nasty steam crash. Good work!
9/10 12/8/04 |
 |
Priority
This crash from Jar Of War proves the rule that passenger trains take
priority over freight isn't always true.
9/10 12/8/04 |
 |
Explode
This mid air explosion is from Jar Of War, showing some stunning
destruction.
10/10 12/8/04 |
 |
Electric Dash
This made me laugh, excellent landing on this
crash by Jar Of War, a Dash9 landing on an electrical sub station.
9/10 12/8/04 |
 |
Anglian Crash
This crash from Charles shows his First Great
Weston livery HST Class 43 smashing into a siding, resulting in a massive
derail with coaches going across the other lines and the standard class
coaches telescoping the front loco.
8/10 7/8/04 |


 |
Black Death
This crash sent in from Liam is yet another
crashed train caused from a bufferstop. This time its Silver Link A4
steamer crashing at 116mph leaving the tender to push the loco out of the
way. Then the camera gets filled with black smoke.
7/10 7/8/04 |
 |
Next train to arrive at platform 1...
I was driving this Class 319 EMU to London
Victoria at just about the speed limit, but all of a sudden the train
derailed at only 40mph and ended up sliding across the line into a station
I was going past.
8/10 7/8/04 |
 |
Dashing Derail
This derail sent in from Ash shows a 2x Dash9
BNSF freight train being slightly overcome by the heavy wagons they are
pulling.
7/10 1/08/2004 |



 |
Arriving on platform 1
I did this crash earlier today with a
Intercity 125, going far to fast on the approach to a station. The train
derailed and crashed through the platform. The the train skidded away from
the railway into some surrounding houses eventually ending up smashed
against a bridge ahead. The last coach and engine stayed on the track
without problems.
