Synopsis
In Nearly A Century Of Heavy Rail Travel In Ohio, A Dozen Train Accidents Stand Out As The Most Horrific. In The Bitter Cold, Just After Christmas 1876, Eleven Cars Plunged Seventy-five Feet Into The Frigid Water Below. The Stoves Burst Into Flames, Burning To Death All Who Were Not Killed By The Fall. Fires Cut Short The Lives Of Forty-three People In The Head-on Doodlebug Collision In Cuyahoga Falls In 1940 And Eleven People In A Train Wreck Near Dresden In 1912. Author Jane Ann Turzillo Unearths These Red-hot Stories Of Ill-fated Passengers, Heroic Trainmen And The Wrecking Crews Who Faced Death And Destruction On Ohio's Rails.
