Angola Horror : ウィキペディア英語版 | Angola Horror
The Angola Horror train wreck occurred on December 18, 1867, just after 3 p.m. when the last coach of the Buffalo-bound ''New York Express'' of the Lake Shore Railway derailed and caught fire in Angola, New York, killing approximately 49 people. ==Train== The express left Cleveland's Union Terminal at 6:40 that morning and was due to arrive in Buffalo at 1:30 in the afternoon. Intending to make the journey was future oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, but he arrived a few minutes late at the station, and although his baggage made it onto the train, he did not. That day the train consisted of four baggage cars, one second class car and three first-class cars; each wooden passenger car also had a pot-bellied stove at each end to provide heat, and kerosene lamps for light. The train lost time on the journey, and by the time it passed Angola it was running two hours and forty-five minutes late, traveling rapidly to try to make up lost time. Its last passenger stop before the accident was at Dunkirk; it also stopped at Silver Creek, but only to take on wood and water.
