The Day 4 Trains Collided in 10 Minutes (Ep. 61)

One of the worst train crashes in U.S. history occurred in eastern CT in 1891 – 4 trains collided within a matter of less than 10 minutes. Asides from the death, injuries and property damage, this story includes an unbelievable premonition about the incident by a railroad worker that wound up saving his life, as well as a local legend surrounding the mystery of the third supposed death from the crash. Hear the story with the President of the Thompson, CT Historical Society, Joe Iamartino.
