OhMyGosh! One minute-23 secs IS the train wreck my Grandfather was killed in. That coach car crushed his caboose and split it open all the way to the cupola-killed him instantly. He fell out and lay beside the left side of the rail in front of that coach. He was doing paperwork at his desk by the back door. It was two miles west of Comertown on that long curve. Both crews had just eaten their noon dinner at Westby. Gpa Gustaf Wiedmeier was from Harvey ND. He died b4 I was born. Thanx 4 the video
Pretty amazing to see the town as i saw it in 1968, "69 and last in 2000, and where my mother grew up in. All those buildings are now gone
