When was this video filmed ?

Only comment.

I've been in Phoenix since 2004 . I've heard stories about the wreckage near dreamy draw but never this crash . This is an awesome video . Thank you for posting.

Here’s my story: I was reading a book that I had obtained from the estate of a friend who had recently died, and on one page someone (maybe my friend, but I doubt it, I think it was the previous owner, whose initials were D.B.) used a newspaper clipping as a bookmark. It was a partial clipping, and part of the article was cut off and the sentence could not be read fully, but there was enough important information to do some digging on the Internet to find out about the circumstances of the tragic death of reporter Mike Nuetzman. He died in 1991. The year I found the clipping in the book was 2023 (in August). I think whoever used the bookmark was more interested in what was on the other side of the clipping, a drawing of our planet (with its moon) seemingly melting into two symbolic hands. Some 30 odd years later, it’s ironic to me how that image has some bearings on current events.

Awesome!

When they built these bridges they did not know the weight of today's trains

The good old days imo

Graves is described in Timothy Good's book "Above Top Secret", relating Frank Scully's account, as: "former businessman and private pilot Selman E. Graves, who witnessed part of the recovery operation with two friends". The book has much more to add (and is cheap on Kindle Books).

FOX TV's presentation describes "the witness" (this one or another one? not stated) as "unsavoury ... with little credibility". Not the impression I get of Graves in this interview, so maybe they meant (if they even knew) "the friend living in a shack"?. Link: ua-cam.com/video/WwGVwkiP11o/v-deo.html The dam being built much later is presumably a valid point however - or was some previous dam built there, e.g. just piled rubble?

May I use this clip for a documentary I’m currently working on?

0:40 I really enjoyed hearing them argue over the radio network, it made my day. Too bad it didn't happen in person.

Lol this is a joke because no person will have a needle or a magnet on them.

If only Amtrak and do the same with the RVs

You got some great footage of an amazing location but, with so many great locations available, is it really necessary to get within touching distance of moving trains? Apart from obvious risks to your own safety and setting a bad example to railfans watching the video, it's going to freak out any rail workers who see you there. Any engineer will get nervous if he sees "civilians" this close to his train.

Where did they take it? I wonder

Those flat cars should have been pulled by a steam locomotive. The train would have been more interesting that way.

niess

That's where the secret blend of herbs and spices came from. #Cool video, never heard of this crash and I'm gonna read up on it now. I originally clicked cause I thought it was some nut job that dressed like the Colonel. Thanks for posting this!

This Fight Was 27 Years Ago I Was Still A Baby.

I took the 'Goat & Chicken Train' to Creel in 1992 from Los Mochis, Baja C Sur. It was spectacular. Lived on my boat there for a year before moving on...I'll never go back to Mexico.

They don’t have teeth fucktard

I saw this when I lived in Creel, Mexico for 7 months. They would stop at the "Divisidero" at the Copper Canyon lookout point. It was so cool to see! I tell people about it until this day.

Yes there is more. This is a short clip from an extensive interview. He gives a great deal of information about the location in the full interview but one would have to area of Cave Creek in 1947 to get a true image of his comments. Westmoreland, mentioned in the comments got the location right but the location of the Go John mine as described in the interview very wrong. The actual crash location is the current transfer station for Cave Creek, aka as the dump. It was a landfill before it became a transfer station. It is close to the Frys on Carefree Highway.

Heh, I was just looking through Wendelle Stevens' old logs and I know he had Graves' name and address in Arizona in the late 80s'. The other account of his experiences are covered in Timothy Good's book Above Top Secret pp. 394 et-seq

I worked on the caravans for 10 years. Took several train trips. Even did one with motorcycles. The RVs just didn't weigh enough compared to heavy freight. They couldn't charge very much. In spite of the fact that it looks dangerous , we never had any injuries except for a couple splinters from the crappy wood railings. I got derailed twice with the motorcycles. The worst experience was; parking next to leaky ammonia carts in los Mochis. The railroad wasn't making any money off the light RVs. Also, people complained loudly when we got pulled through at night.

Saludos, desde México.

Thank you for a great video.

I knew Eric Thomsen who was in charge of the Western Pacific track. While the former WP route would seem preferable to the Donner Pass route, land slides are a constant problem in Feather River Canyon.

I just LOVE Patagonians! They Are SO intelligent and very entertaining!! I just love my Patty. She is a big time snuggle bunny!!

The Phoenix lights are looking for lost ships. That's why there near Dreamy draw and Sedona.

One of those RVs was so close to the edge on the car it looked like it was going to pitch over when they took a curve. Wooden car floors, wooden supports to load/unload, passengers hanging on by a rope; just too much possibility for someone to be injured or worse. Yes, it looks fun and you had the time of your life, but again, I understand why they stopped it.

The Politically Correct, Nanny-State/SafetyCrat "baloney" has now percolated down even to Mexico. People are scared of life.

I will always love Mr. Westmoreland. KTA...who? Mr. Westmoreland made me want to be on the radio.

The Spring Garden Tunnel is the longest tunnel of the route at 7,294 ft.

Sparks? Did it take 395?

Longest of the 34 tunnels?

Is there more to this video?? I tried going to the website listed in the description but it is currently unavailable.

yes, it does look like I'm too close to the trains going by. I had the video camera outstretched as far as I could, watching the screen, keeping as far as possible, but to get a dramatic shot, , but you're right, always dangerous, not recommended. I was good friends with Lou Menk in Carefree, former CEO of the Burlington Northern railroad and we use to talk about the crazy train days. I had hopped about 25,000 miles of freights when I was REALLY crazy about trains. All dangerous, for sure. Lou worked his way up from a caboose to running the company, before he passed away. He loved those rails. Nice to see they named the street after him that the headquarters was at....Lou Menk Drive.

Hi, I thought there was a BNSF spur to went North from Reno that went into the Feather River. Perhaps I was wrong.

Wonder how much that went for.

who will take steel wool to the forest?

enjoyed your video

Trains going through the Feather River Canyon don't go anywhere near Sparks

Go to the Bell Trail, west of Sedona. You're right in their back yard literally. I don't know if it's a health risk, but believe what they say about a city above bell rock. At night you will see them is a minute or so.

The closest you can get the cave creek landfill where the UFO was buried is at the golf course. The landfill has a fence around it. There are houses nearby. I'd be very concerned of radiation sickness, and cancer from the saucer and the toxic debris in the landfill.

I realize that Carefree is the name of the place, but the title of the video is amusingly contradictory: "Carefree flash flood".

I wanna live there.

Jude LaCava is a bad ass! Greg Anthony is a bitch! That brawl made me hate the Knicks! and they STILL suck! FK NYK

Go to the Sears-Kay ruins between Carefree and Seven Springs and you will see them almost every night. or Go to Schnebly Hill Rd. in Sedona at night,
