What ever happened to railroad disasters? It used to be on A&E every once in a while. Is it ever on anymore? Its not the most positive perspective of trains, but theres really not a whole lot more out there. :(

I think the series has been rebranded on The History Channel under other titles using parts of interviews from the show. The most recent incarnation I think is related to that was part of "Wild West Tech" which featured railroad disasters of the 19th and early 20th century. It's worth a look if you get the chance.

I think there is a tape that you can buy about that SP Wreck I don't know if you have to go to the learning channel for it.
