Northwest Testing Labs hired me to crash a train. Seriously, I got to crash a train.

An immovable gondola car filled with scrap iron was welded to the track and rammed by a moving box car that we instrumented with a huge amount of strain gauges. I had to ride beside the crashing train in the bed of a pickup truck loaded with computers, to capture all the data of the cars colliding through a very fat umbilical cord connected to the crashing boxcar. The train wreck was about 15 ft. from me, and it made a crazy loud noise and shook the ground. It was a cool project and the data we collected helped the rail car manufacturer improve the designs of their train cars. This was in 1985, and the computers were luggable IBM PC clones with data acquisition cards, and 10MB hard drives. The high amount of data filled the drives in seconds. I had to trigger the collection perfectly, no second chances. Still have the hardhat with Northwest Testing Laboratories' logo.
