Trawling through YouTube I found these simulations of accidents/incidents. Apparently the steam-era one is the reproduction of a real accident, I'm unsure about the other ones which seem to be more in the nature of training films.

Good findings!
It was interesting to see these films although I did not understand a word. Are these maybe learning videos?

I get the basic gist of them, railway training films are all the same, I just had my 18 monthly re-accreditation and watched a few similar ones, but not with computer animation.

The moral of the first video is obviously "do not be distracted by your diarrhea while you're driving a train".

The message of the steam era one is to check if the adjacent track is fouled and protect your train before you do anything else and don't evacuate the disabled train until you get the OK to do so. Rules that apply in any time period.
