Liberty Bell Train Accident

[NW Mailing List]

The accident was reported in the weekly Shepherdstown Register newspaper. 
It was big news when the Liberty Bell travelled south from Hagerstown on the 
N&W.  It has been years since I saw the article, but I will look to see if I 
can find it.  The microfilm copies of this newspaper are at the Shepherd 
University Library.
