The Bagley train wreck (also known as the Great Salt Lake wreck〔http://www.deseretnews.com/article/600101823/Great-Salt-Lake-wreck-stole-headlines-in-1944.html Great Salt Lake wreck stole headlines in 1944〕) occurred in Utah, USA on the morning of Sunday December 31, 1944. The crash killed 48 (some sources 50〔Table 4-2 Selected Train Wrecks in the United States in the Twentieth Century in ''Living With Hazards, Dealing With Disasters: An Introduction to Emergency Management'' by William L Waugh, publ. February 2000. ISBN 0-7656-0196-6〕) including over 35 military personnel〔 and injured 79 and involved Southern Pacific's ''Pacific Limited'' as it crossed The Great Salt Lake on the Lucin Cutoff.〔http://historytogo.utah.gov/utah_chapters/from_war_to_war/howtrainshelpedwinawar.html A tragic train wreck〕 It had left Chicago at 10 a.m. Friday, bound for San Francisco〔http://www.genealogybuff.com/misc/ut-bagley-trainwreck.htm ''Ogden Standard-Examiner'', Ogden, Utah - Monday, January 1, 1945〕 and normally travelled in one long section but on this occasion it was split into two with the passenger train running ahead of the mail express. Early that morning an unusually long and heavy freight train developed problems (unofficially a hot box〔http://www3.gendisasters.com/utah/370/bagley%2C-ut-train-wreck%2C-dec-1944?page=0%2C2 ''The Ogden Standard-Examiner'' Utah 1945-01-01〕) whilst travelling west from Ogden. This required the first section of the ''Pacific Limited'' which comprised 18 cars headed by SP GS-3 No.4425〔ICC Investigation No. 2586〕 to stop and then proceed with caution. The second section, comprising 20 cars headed by SP Mt-4 No.4361〔〔http://espee.railfan.net/sp_steam_mt-04.html Southern Pacific 'Mountain' Class Mt-4 4-8-2〕 apparently unaware of the problems ahead continued at full speed.〔http://www3.gendisasters.com/utah/370/bagley,-ut-train-wreck,-dec-1944 ''The Ogden Standard-Examiner'' Utah 1945-01-01〕 At Bagley a siding, 17 miles west of Ogden at 5.14 a.m. in thick fog the mail express plowed into the Pullman car at the back of the passenger train. The ''Ogden Standard Examiner'' reported "The force of the impact sent another sleeping car smashing through the dining car and farther ahead slammed one coach into the wooden coach ahead of it. Cars of the mail express section piled up crossways of the track behind the engine, some of them sliding down the causeway embankment into water. Most of the dead were taken from the rear Pullman car and from the telescoped coach"〔 At the site of the crash the tracks run along a causeway across desolate mud and shallow water so all rescue efforts had to come by rail. Fortunately two hospital cars were included in the passenger train manned by members of the Medical Corps and tended the injured until rescue trains arrived from Ogden.〔 The official enquiry into the accident 'found that this accident was caused by failure to properly control the speed of the following train in accordance with signal indications.'〔 ==References==
