  • Is this where the 1918 train disaster occurred? The Department of Transportation's archives lead me to believe that it is: http://specialcollection.dotlibrary.dot.gov/Document?db=DOT-RAILROAD&query=%28select+537%29
  • This is the location of the circus train disaster, that is correct.
  • This is not where the crash happened. It happened east of Ivanhoe Junction.
