Wreck of PRR Passenger Train #208 |
| Description: |
PRR Baldwin Sharknose 5778 lies on its side in Kokomo, Indiana. This was PRR passenger train #208, which ran from Chicago to Cincinnati. The train had made it's regularly scheduled station stop in Kokomo, and was accelerating southbound when the lead engine was diverted by a mis-thrown switch onto an industrial siding, the curvature of which caused the lead unit to tip over from inertia. Fortunately the train wasn't rolling at high speed yet, and the engineer and firemen both survived. None of the trailing cars tipped over, and there were no injuries among the passengers or train crew. Subsequent investigation determined that the switch had been thrown by a young boy (approx age 10-12) who had somehow obtained a switch key, unlocked the siding switch, and thrown it ahead of the train. |

Wreck on the PRR Low Grade Secondary west of New Bethlehem, PA |
| Description: |
Some hoppers overturned and tumbled down the bank into Redbank Creek. According to Dad, who was track supervisor at the time, this one was caused by track spreading. I believe I'm reading roster number 8723 in the locomotive in the lower right corner. If so, that makes it a Fairbanks-Morse Model H12-44. I'd appreciate any feedback from people more knowledgeable than I as to whether it looks like an F-M locomotive. |
