Not the best for pictures of the whole wreck, but there are a few photos of wreck damaged Superliners.

Derailments are not pretty. Please keep in mind that people and crewmembers were killed in both of the photos you linked to. The best way to get photos is to search for them on the net or read news stories of when one happens and save them yourselves. There's another way, but that's for me to know.

I dont look for derailment photos to get any kind of high off of seeing recked trains.I know that poeple could be hurt or killed, but I just want to look over the tendancies of witch cars are most likly to do what in a derailment and keep track of what I've learned in a sierious manner.

NTSB accident reports. There's the big secret. I can understand their technical writing, in fact, I could probably duplicate it. Hey, NTSB, hire me!
