Built near Waco, the town provided the staging ground for a publicity stunt ramming two trains together at top speed. Showrunner and Katy Railroad official William Crush thought he had planned for every contingency. But when elephant-sized chunks of steam locomotive began raining down into the packed stands, the extravaganza quickly unraveled into one of the Lone Star State's most confounding tragedies. The soon-to-be famous Scott Joplin commemorated the debacle in \"The Great Crush Collision March,'? and entrepreneurs like \"Head-On Joe'? Connolly of Iowa continued the tradition of the staged locomotive duel for decades. But the stupefying incident still slipped into the back pages of Texas lore. In the first-ever book on the subject, writer-historian Mike Cox finally tells the full story of the Crash at Crush.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028175552785,"sku":"NIN9781467139342","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51772926787857,"sku":"CIN1467139343G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53602038907153,"sku":"CIN1467139343VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1467139343.jpg?v=1750758180"},{"product_id":"central-texas-tales-american-chronicles-book-mike-cox-9781609497392","title":"Central Texas Tales (American Chronicles)","description":"Central Texas is an area as diverse culturally as it is geographically. Bordered by Hill Country in the west, green farmland in the east and Waco and New Braunfels in the north and south, this area has drawn settlers from around the globe for over two centuries, leaving their mark and their stories along the way. From a surprising story of nineteenth-century psych ops at Fort Mason and what really happened to Bevo, the UT longhorn, in 1920 to Mrs. Ross's Croghan Cobbler recipe and rumors of a Lone Star visit by old Abe himself, historian Mike Cox regales readers with over fifty stories about the fascinating people, history and places of middle Texas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51039133434129,"sku":"NIN9781609497392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324913352977,"sku":"CIN1609497392G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52511084675345,"sku":"CIN1609497392VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1609497392.jpg?v=1751088364"},{"product_id":"west-texas-tales-book-mike-cox-9781609493295","title":"West Texas Tales","description":"Historian Mike Cox has been writing about Texas history for four decades, sharing tales that have been overlooked or forgotten through the years.
