I could not find the website where I know I saw pictures of a deadly train wreck somewhere there near Henry. I'll keep looking. The elephant train wreck was about the same time period, but in Illinois. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/ILFORcircus.html http://www.hammondindiana.com/history/circus.htm Great Circus Train Wreck of 1918 at 3:56 a. m. on June 22nd, 1918 near Hammond, Indiana -----Original Message----- From: Linda Jo Sheahan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 5:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [VAFRANKL] Circus Train Wreck Yes, I did read about it, but I can't remember where.

Linda Jo Groton, MA -----Original Message----- From: Truman Adkins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 8:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [VAFRANKL] Circus Train Wreck The discussion about the Henry Post Office got me to thinking about a story my father told me 30 years ago. He remembered in the 1920's a circus train wrecked between Henry and Prillaman's Switch. An Elephant was killed and buried beside the tracks. Anyone familiar with this story?
