So, here is a little more info about the accident I believe you failed to mention, so before I state this, my source is from 611: The American Icon, produced by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, during the restoration of the 611. So what they state about the wreck, was like you stated before they were running behind schedule, and took the curve at a high rate of speed, the engineer failed to reduce the speed because he was believed to have suffered a heart attack, which what lead to the accident, and his death. But there’s some more info about it that I wasn’t sure you knew or not, but over all, nice video.
