Railheads Buck Taylor

Welcome to this edition of the Railheads podcast. Today we are doing a survey of trainwrecks in American history that helped change the safety standards of railroading and in particular passenger rail safety.

Wreck of the Broker

Frankford Junction 1943

Frankford Junction 2015

City of New Orleans Wreck

Malbone Street Wreck

Big Bayou Canot 

Fox River Grove and Archive NEWS story

In this episode I interview Anon Railfan from twitter. Enjoy!



We talk about classic rail disaster movies and how laughably bad they are. 

Happy International Women’s Day especially to those in the rail industry!

Hello Railfans

This is an excerpt of my first hour zoom conversation with Diesel.

A little background, Diesel and I have been friends for over 2 years and I even took the Amtrak Texas Eagle to Texas to meet him in 2019. It was an exciting time! Unfortunately due to COVID 19 restrictions we have only been able to see each other on Zoom. 

We discussed BNSF in Longview and a video Diesel did for his own Youtube channel Metro Rail North Productions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQBuk1fOIY8

Please enjoy this section of the Railheads podcast! Our future format will hopefully include news segments and a roundhouse discussion on a particular subject. 



Have a safe and wonderful journey out there on the High Iron!

Trainmaster Buck 

I am Buck Taylor and together with my three friends we are the railheads podcast! Each episode we will be exploring North American railroading with a few sidetracks to other world regions. Our goal is entertain and educate you about both the well known main line stories to lesser known tales from the furthest branch lines.

On Today's Episode I interview co-host Connor! Please excuse the audio quality, we are just beginning but I promise it will improve. Today we discuss Connor's love of trains and people he puts on the Mount Rushmore of Railroaders.



Thank you Connor for joining me today on the railheads podcast.
