The Rockport train wreck was a train accident that occurred in Rockport in Mansfield Township, New Jersey, about three miles outside of Hackettstown, New Jersey, on June 16, 1925. A violent storm washed debris onto a grade crossing, derailing a Lackawanna Railroad (DL&W) train. The crash killed 42 passengers and five crewmen and injured 23 others. 〔(ICC report of 1925 )〕 ==Train== The train was a non-scheduled special train carrying 182 German-Americans travelling from Chicago, Illinois to Hoboken, New Jersey. At Hoboken, the passengers were to board the transatlantic steamer ''Pacific'' for Europe. The trip was an annual excursion organized through steamship agent Leopold Neumann to allow midwestern Germans to visit their homeland. The trip's itinerary would include visits to Bremen, Cologne, and Munich in Germany and Vienna, Austria.〔 The train left Chicago mid-morning on June 15, 1925, consisting of a locomotive, five Pullman cars and two passenger coaches. In the afternoon, the train stopped so that the passengers could visit Niagara Falls. Towards dinnertime, the passengers reboarded the train at Buffalo for the 400-mile (645 km) trip to Hoboken via the DLW. The train passed through Binghamton, New York, about 10:30 pm and then made a stop at Scranton, Pennsylvania, just before midnight for a crew and engine change. At 12:01 a.m. on June 16, Engineer Fred Loomis took over the controls of Lackawanna Engine No. 1104 and the train set off on the last leg of the trip through the Pocono Mountains, crossing the Delaware River near the Delaware Water Gap, and then east into New Jersey.〔 The train had been scheduled to travel via the Lackawanna Cut-Off, but because of freight traffic on the line the towerman at Slateford Junction rerouted the special over the Old Road of the Lackawanna, an alternate route that was to take the train through the New Jersey towns of Washington, and Hackettstown, before rejoining the main line near Lake Hopatcong. The rerouting of these types of trains on this section of the railroad under these circumstances was not unusual.〔
