Recreation of a train wreck that happened 72 years ago this afternoon

Bob Whipple, a West Berlin train buff recreated the 1939 wreck of the luxury train, the Blue Comet, in a roughly 3-minute home-made video he has posted on You-Tube.   He mixes old photographs of the famous train with a practically minute-by-minute account of what happened, using train models to illustrate.

Watch it.  It's quite entertaining.
