This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HEADLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Blh.2ACEB/370 Message Board Post: Did any of your HEADLEY ancestors work or travel on the railroads? Were any involved in train collisions or other mishaps? I have created a message board on Ancestry.com for U.S. Railroad Accidents. There is already at least one posting involving a HEADLEY. PLEASE BE FOREWARNED THAT SOME OF THE NEWS ARTICLES ARE GRAPHIC in regard to horrible injuries and deaths. Railroading involved many dangers and gruesome tragedies over the years. If you have news articles or stories regarding accidents that occurred on the railroads, in train depots, on train bridges, etc., please post them on the Railroad Accidents board along with ALL surnames involved. And be sure to check the board for your surnames. Stories will be added regularly. The new board is here: Boards>Topics>Disasters>United States>Railroad Accidents Go to main Message Boards Page. Use the “Find a Message Board” box to search on Railroad Accidents, and follow the links to the board; OR Under topics click on “browse all topics.” Click on Disasters. Click on United States. Click on Railroad Accidents. If you think you’ll want to return to this category regularly, go to the Railroad Accidents message board and from just above the messages click on Add to Favorites or Add to Notifications. This will make it much easier to access the Railroad Accidents board on future visits to Ancestry.com.
