1906 Washington, D.C., train wreck

The 1906 Washington, D.C., train wreck occurred on the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Terra Cotta station in Washington, D.C., on December 30, 1906 at 6:31 in the evening, when a locomotive pulling six empty cars crashed into the back of a passenger train in dense fog, killing 53 people and injuring more than 70.〔(Welcome to obscure Washington, D.C. - CNN.com )〕
==Accident==
The local train, consisting of three wooden cars, was traveling from Frederick, Maryland and was fifteen minutes late. It was just pulling out of Terra Cotta station (near the site of the current Fort Totten Metro station) when it was struck from behind by a "special equipment train", No 2120, traveling at full speed, about 65 mph. The heavy locomotive, which sustained very little damage, ploughed through the rear two cars, sending bodies and debris flying for a quarter of a mile on both sides of the track.〔http://brooklandavenue.com/blog/?p=845 Deadly 1906 Washington DC Train Wreck Near Fort Totten〕
The accident is described in the book ''Undergraduate Days 1904-1908'' by Frank Kuntz, recounted by a fellow student at the nearby Catholic University of America:  "Then came a terrible noise which he described as a combination of an explosion, escaping steam, breaking wood, groaning brakes and human screams. It was so loud it could be heard on the campus and all over Brookland".〔
