| Post subject: | Dummy Locomotive Explosion |
An 0-4-2 Dummy Locomotive named "Gem" was running on the Mahanoy Division of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad about 35 miles northwest of Reading, Pa., near Mahanoy Cityin November 1878. It exploded killing the engineer, fireman, and a superintendent who was riding at the time. Does anybody have the exact date and the names of these unfortunate men or any other details? hankmorris@earthlink.net |
