Can anybody supply me with ANY information about a freight train derailment in New London CT during the Summer of 1964 (before August 7th) that wiped out the crossing tender shanty and may have sideswiped an RDC car laying over, possibly knoking some RR equipment into the thames River as well? Thanks in advance
