The first photo was the last big train wreck I was involved with just before retiring. #2 photo was a train wreck out in Imperial County a few years back. #3 was a runaway engine in Mira Loma Ca. back in 2005 and the last #4 was a train running into a stopped cut of rail cars at Imperial Co. that happen about 8 to 10 years ago, hard to believe looking the the engine that none of the 4 crewmen got killed.
