Tacoma Streetcar Disaster : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tacoma Streetcar Disaster
The Tacoma Streetcar Disaster was a public transportation accident that took place in Tacoma, WA on July 4, 1900 when an overloaded streetcar failed to negotiate a curve and plunged down an embankment near a trestle that spans today's South Tacoma Way. The accident resulted in 43 deaths and approximately 65 injuries, many serious. ==Background== Tacoma was served by several privately owned streetcar companies starting from 1888, and by 1900 there were lines running from the city center to several suburban areas, as well as up and down the steep hills in Tacoma's downtown area. One of the companies was Tacoma Railway & Power, which operated lines from Tacoma to Spanaway and from Tacoma to Steilacoom.〔
