Intentional train crashing was a big spectical that would literally bring hundreds of thousands of people to watch 2 locomotives drive at high speed towards eachother, and it's one of the coolest things I've ever heard of. However, the Crash at Crush was what really put the spectical in the public mind, hosted by William Crush (yes, the town was named after William Crush), and quite literally at the time had approximately 400,000 people travel from a cross Texan to view this, meaning that for a moment, Crush was the third biggest city in Texas by population, beaten only by Houston and Dallas.
