APR, Accident Report, 1854 |
| Description: |
Here is the text of an article that was published in the 11 April 1854 issue of the "Lancaster Intelligencer." It recounts an accident which occurred at Plane #10 on the Allegheny Portage Railroad near Duncansville, Pennsylvania ~ not "Hollidaysburg," as cited in the article. No injuries reported, but a big mess nonetheless! (#11,300) |
