Accident at Nelson Lake

Here is a bit of history of an accident on the Adirondack Division in the early 1900's.

Nice article !

Everytime I go past that spot I think of this wreck. If you don't know where it is, I'll point it out sometime when we work the same crew. I've tried to locate parts of the wreck but have not come up wirth much. Most is probably buried or sunk in the little boggy area.

Not sure of the exact spot, but I have a good idea based on the article. The thing that amazes me is the idea of running a train through there at 60 mph. I know that's what the NYC did, but with me being used to going 30 through there, 60 just seems insane!
