Slogani
On December 29, 1876 during a raging blizzard, the Ashtabula train disaster and bridge collapse was the worst train disaster of the 19th century, claiming the lives of 97 people.
Overview

The Ashtabula train disaster and bridge collapse was the worst train disaster of the 19th century, claiming the lives of 97 people. The engineering and structural failures that caused the collapse of a bridge that stood for over a decade, also took down the most luxurious train of the day, “The Pacific Express #5.” The accident happened in Ashtabula, Ohio on December 29, 1876 during a raging blizzard, sending the luxury train crashing 70-feet into a river gorge and costing the lives of 97 people. The disaster shocked the nation, yet it’s a story that’s been lost in the pages of history. In a strange twist of fate and intrigue, the bridge disaster also became the backdrop to the still unsolved murder of Charles Collins, the railroad’s chief engineer. It also contributed to the eventual suicide of millionaire Amasa Stone, the president of the railroad and the designer and builder of the bridge.

Overview

De treinramp in Ashtabula en het instorten van de brug was de ergste treinramp van de 19e eeuw, waarbij 97 mensen om het leven kwamen. De technische en structurele fouten die de ineenstorting veroorzaakten van een brug die meer dan tien jaar had gestaan, hebben ook de meest luxueuze trein van de dag, “The Pacific Express #5”, verwoest. Het ongeval gebeurde op 29 december 1876 in Ashtabula, Ohio tijdens een hevige sneeuwstorm, waardoor de luxe trein 22 meter hoog in een rivierkloof stortte en 97 mensen het leven kostte. De ramp schokte de natie, maar het is een verhaal dat verloren is gegaan in de geschiedenis. Door een vreemde speling van het lot en intriges werd de brugramp ook het decor voor de nog steeds onopgeloste moord op Charles Collins, de hoofdingenieur van de spoorweg. Het heeft ook bijgedragen aan de uiteindelijke zelfmoord van miljonair Amasa Stone, de president van de spoorweg en de ontwerper en bouwer van de brug.
