Troy Daily Times article on Collpase of bridge over Tomhannock Creek

ID# 9,235

The following was copied from the files of the now-defunct TROY DAILY TIMES of August 3 1859 relative to the collapse of the bridge crossing TOMHANNOCK CREEK and which eventually put the railroad out of business. What follows is the logical sequel to the disaster and the likewise copied from THE TROY DAILY TIMES OF SEPTEMBER of September 16 1859. The last account is recorded on microfilm and is on file in the Reference Room on the second floor of the Troy Public Library and as the newspaper itself was not in very good shape insofar as some of the printing was concerned-due allowance must be made for any errors which may appear.

Accident on the Western Maryland Rail Road

ID # 897

ACCIDENT ON THE WESTERN MARYLAND RAIL ROAD

Immediately after the Battle of Gettysburg ended July 3, 1863, the Union Army operated the Western Maryland Rail Road for about eight days, using it solely to transport military and hospital supplies to General George Meade's victorious but exhausted troops. Shortly after the government returned the road to its owners, this train was wrecked at the farm of Elhanan Englar, New Windsor, Maryland. Many people suspected that Confederate sabotage was responsible. This picture was painted by a young witness, 16-year-old Frederick Dielman. Just three months after the wreck, President Lincoln rode over parts of the line on his way to deliver the Gettysburg Address.
