My grandfather had just joined the army that year and he kept a diary for his whole time in the army, including England, France, and Germany. He was on a train that left from the Oakland Mole in the Bay area, and has an entry that there was a wreck ahead of him on December 20th 1917, crazy huh?
Hey Griffin, may I make a suggestion for a crash to cover? There was one in the 1970s, 15 miles from where I sit now in the town of Cobden, Illinois where two freight/goods trains collided. I'd love to hear if you can find some more info and also to put the crash up to be remembered forever like Exeter, Crush, and Murulla. All trains have a story and if we are to keep wrecks from happening even the smallest one should be recorded as a documentary. May all who were killed in all train wrecks of the past, present and sadly future (Because as much as we want to hope we know railways will have sad stories) rest in peace and those brave engine drivers and engines carry them to Heaven and onward.
Running through signals in fog is an old, old problem. My late grandfather was a platelayer on the Trent Valley in Staffordshire, and lived close to the station at Colwich. He and his men would be called out in thick fog, to stand by the individual signals with detonators to 'shoot' the trains through in order to warn the driver of the board's position. Cold, miserable and often dangerous job.
No matter how much we try to learn from the mistakes of the past, one thing is for certain: When Mother Nature adds her own playing cards into the game, the outcome is completely unavoidable as we have no control over it.
Can you by any chance cover the Buttevant Rail Disaster? I think it is unique as the locomotive that pulled it (CIÉ 071 class no. 075) is still around today. Pretty interesting.

Ever read Great Australian railway disasters by Ken Pierce?
1:22 the p6 class were rebranded known as a C32 class and 3265 didn't crash good thing these locos stayed up.
Nice mix of call of duty Music in this video you did really good with the video
