There is a museum at the railroad depot in the town that has info and a write up on that wreck and some debris. It was called the "Crash at Crush". If there are other wrecks near there I would think they would have that info too. The "Crush" wreck had one or two people who died. It was in a made up town called "Crush". It was a big event at the time with people coming from all over who paid to see the great crash. Two trains were staged to run into each other at top speed. The Historical Marker was stolen so the actual spot is a little hard to find.
