The Train Wreckers is a 1905 American silent drama film, directed by Edwin S. Porter showing how the daughter of a railway switchman and lover of a locomotive engineer is defeating outlaws trying to derail a train.[1]
The daughter of a switchman, after having wished good morning to her lover, a locomotive engineer, and brought her father his lunch, overhears a group of outlaws planning to derail her lover's train. The outlaws capture her and tie her to a tree. She manages to escape with the help of her dog and successfully warns the locomotive engineer. Once the track has been cleared and the train has left, the train wreckers come back to knock her out and leave her on the tracks to be run over. The engineer positions himself on the incoming locomotive's cowcatcher and rescues her from certain death. The locomotive is then uncoupled from the train and the railroad personnel chases and overpower the desperados who had fled on a handcar.[2]

The film is composed of 14 wide shots without any intertitles, all shots on location, several shots using camera panning. Cross-cutting and continuity editing are used to show actions developing over several shots in different locations. Shot 12 (see list of shots below) is shown in reverse motion: The train was filmed backing up after the actor playing the engineer had dropped a dummy on the track. This gives the impression that he catches the girl just before she is run over by the train.
9. Same as shot 6. The woman unsuccessfully tries to remove the ties and runs out onto the track. She takes off her petticoat and waves it as a flag to an incoming train, which allows the engineer to stop just before the obstruction. The engineer and some passengers clear the track and thank her before the train leaves again.
12. Same as shot 10. The woman is lying unconscious on the rails while a train is approaching. The engineer crouching on the locomotive's cowcatcher manages to catch her just before she is run over (reverse motion trick).
13. Other view of a train track with the engineer holding the woman in front of the locomotive. The train stops and two engineers come to help their colleagues to hold the woman, still unconscious, while passengers come to their help. The locomotive is uncoupled and steams away while the woman is helped into the train.
While the brown scales on the caps can resemble other species, a look under the cap will help you identify them. Train wreckers have gills, pheasant backs have pores, and scaly hedgehog mushrooms have teeth.
Just because train wreckers are edible doesn't mean they're good. They have a leathery texture and a mild flavor and taste like oyster mushrooms, but the stem is tough and inedible. Some people report a spicy taste or an anise smell.
"When train number nine on the Western North Carolina Railroad tumbled off Bostian's Bridge in 1891, it ignited a media frenzy, as well as a firestorm of outrage, a detailed investigation, a compelling mystery, and a series of unanswered questions."
A woman walks out onto her porch and greets a man dressed in a railroad uniform and carrying a metal lunchbox. She waves as he walks away. Then, in a very interesting shot, we see the woman at work in an office with an overview of the tracks. After a train rushes by, she pulls one of the switches, seemingly a very un-feminine job for the time. The she says goodbye to her boss and his dog and picks up an identical metal lunchbox and walks down the tracks and into the woods. After a brief walk, she comes across a circle of men dressed like hoboes and sitting in the road, vigorously discussing a plan. One of them carries a rope. She hides behind a tree, but another hobo comes up from behind her and grabs her and the others come over and use the rope to tie her to a tree. The dog from the office now runs up and frees her by biting through the ropes. She collects her lunchbox and goes after the men.
Now, the engine is detached from the train and pursues the wreckers, with a man firing a rifle from the cow catcher. They try to return fire with pistols, but it has to be hard to shoot and pump at the same time. Eventually, the train catches up and after a brief gun battle all of the wreckers are killed. The end.
Two years after The Great Train Robbery, and after having made a parody thereof, The Little Train Robbery, Edwin Porter directed in 1905 another film on gangsters attacking a train, entirely filmed on location and with continuity editing and cross-cutting brought to a new level.
This massive close relative of the train wrecker lacks a partial veil and ring, but since the train wrecker loses its ring so quickly, this is not a good distinguishing feature. The giant sawgill gets significantly larger, 12 inches wide, or even much larger.
It is important to note that mushrooms growing on man-made wooden structures, like railroad ties, may come into contact with chemicals used for wood preservation. Therefore, it is essential to source the train wrecker from safe and uncontaminated areas. Once properly cooked, the mushroom can be used in various culinary preparations, adding a unique texture and flavor to dishes.
While the train wrecker is primarily appreciated for its culinary potential, some studies suggest that it may possess medicinal properties. Research has shown that certain compounds present in the mushroom, such as polysaccharides and phenolic compounds, exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These properties could potentially contribute to various health benefits, including immune support and reduction of oxidative stress. However, further research is needed to fully understand and harness the medicinal potential of Neolentinus lepideus.
During this time, a number of trains, bridges, culverts and even the railway track itself fell prey to Hindon and his ingeniously-manufactured special mines. These were made by using Martini-Henry rifles sawn off about four inches (10 cm) in front of and behind the magazine, filing the trigger guard to leave the trigger mechanism exposed, placing the device in a carefully covered up hole under the tracks in such a way that the trigger was in contact with the dynamite and at just the right height to be affected by the weight of the train on the tracks, yet so little exposed that it went unnoticed. All surplus railway stones were carried away in a bag and great care was taken to conceal all traces of the mine. After a train had been immobilised using the mine, Hindon and his men would ride up to it and loot it. Even armoured trains, guarded by British troops, were attacked and often destroyed.
Noticing the Boers had failed to remove any of the rails, the British commanders had an armoured train from the Mafeking railyard loaded with sharpshooters, armed with the Martini-Henry Mark IV rifle, sent up the rail line in a daring attack right into the heart of the Boer camp ( _of_Mafeking)
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan--At the approximate mid-point in their six-month deployment, Soldiers from the U.S. Army Ordnance School, Track, Metalworking, and Recovery Department have weathered cold, rain, mud, heat and blowing dust to train dozens of Soldiers on operating the M1249 MRAP Recovery Vehicle and qualify many for the H8 Recovery Operations Additional Skill Identifier.
The H8 ASI is a specialized course to train Soldiers to operate and maintain recovery vehicles and how to use standard procedures to rig and recover wheeled vehicles. The sub-tasks include oxygen and acetylene gas welding, recovery methods, boom and hoist operations, winch operations and recovery of mired, overturned and disabled vehicles. The Soldiers train on M984 HEMTT wreckers and M1089 five-ton MTV wreckers. The H8 course is being offered to Soldiers deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom whose units will be issued M1249s.
Sgt. Maj. Gene M. Sousa, U.S. Army Ordnance School, Track, Metalworking, and Recovery Department, said the H8 ASI is a low-density qualification and is currently taught at the schoolhouse at Fort Lee as part of Additional Individual Training for Soldiers just out of basic training. Teaching the course in theater is different because the Soldiers have more experience on vehicles than Soldiers in AIT he said.
Beehler added that many units close to the Bagram training site can send Soldiers on short notice to fill empty seats. Sousa said they increased the student load from eight to 12 Soldiers per class to accommodate the demand for training.
Ah, I remember this from the original Wrath, People bought the train and used it. Imagine their surprise when others hated because of the loud noise it made. I remember one person got kicked from his guild for dropping it during a raid while the raid leader was speaking. Then they came out with the train wrecker to ruin the fun (and gold now wasted) for those who bought the train to use it.
Norfolk Southern locomotives still rumble periodically over Bostian's Bridge trestle, a 300-foot long stone bridge that rises 30 feet off the ground near Statesville, North Carolina. But supposedly, those aren't the only trains on the track. As I legend goes, on the anniversary of a wreck that occurred at the site on August 27, 1891, a ghost train hurtles off the bridge and crashes to the ground below. Visitors have claimed to see a uniformed man with a gold watch, or to hear the screams of doomed passengers and the clang of crashing metal. Statesville has thus played host to hordes of ghost hunters and paranormal researchers, who converge on the site every August 27 hoping to catch a glimpse of the haunted train. In 2010, tragedy struck the annual gathering when a party of ghost hunters encountered an actual freightliner barreling down the track. The group fled, but one man was struck and killed. (1)
The accident garnered national attention, but was hardly the first event to put Bostian's Bridge in the news. When train number nine on the Western North Carolina Railroad tumbled off Bostian's Bridge in 1891, it ignited a media frenzy, as well as a firestorm of outrage, a detailed investigation, a compelling mystery, and a series of unanswered questions. Just what had caused the train to derail and who was ultimately responsible for the twenty-two deaths that occurred? Was it the railroad's fault for poor maintenance of the bridge, or had a gang of robbers removed a rail to deliberately wreck the train and rob the passengers? Regardless of the source, southerners were haunted by the wreck at Bostian's Bridge and the idea of train wreckers--gangs or individuals who intentionally derailed trains and threatened the region's railroads in the 1890s. be457b7860
