Looks like it was the Santa Fe. A small article is at the link.

There was a boiler explosion in that roundhouse. I found the accident report for it on the web somewhere. I forget the date but there was at least one person killed in it. Tod Engine Foundation todengine@woh.rr.com |

Although Mr. Finch's original question involved his grandfather, circa 1919--this thread has "evolved" to the 1950's explosion. An official (Interstate Commerce Commission) report is found at the site below. Canadian, TX Boiler Explosion utweyesguy@aol.com |
