1970 Educational movie about the dangers that drivers and railroad engineers face when cars, trucks, and buses don't pay attention at railroad crossings. Not on IMDb, so not as famous as Last Clear Chance or Signal 30. But there are crashes.

Produced by Southern Pacific Railway, and shared by Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (which briefly acquired them in the 1980's), Western Pacific Railroad, and Union Pacific Railroad which owns both SP and WP now.

There's a standard CA Highway shield below it, but I can't read the thing (CA 190-something).

Aside from the late-40's Ford coupe that got hit by the SP streamliner, here's another crash involving a car from the 1910's or 1920's arguing with a horse-drawn wagon driver before plowing into the path of a steam engine;

If this could be identified, it'd be three stars too.

Southern Pacific 5300, an EMD SD39 built in 1968. Only 54 SD39s were made; 26 of them were ordered by SP. According to the Railroad Picture Archives, 5300 was retired in 1995 and subsequently sold to Progress Rail. Current whereabouts uncertain.

I have that Ford truck in the last thumb, twice even. Once in banged up and once in good condition. :)

The first thumbnail includes a Lincoln Continental from the 1960's and a Volkswagen Fastback.
