St. George bridge derailment
text:
The St. George bridge derailment occurred on February 27, 1889 between 5:30 and 6:00 pm, just south of St. George, Ontario, Canada. The St. Louis Express was running east at about 45 mph, and just before crossing the bridge a flange broke on a driving wheel, dislocating the coupling rod. The engine, tender and smoking car crossed safely, but the passenger car fell off the bridge, the dining car followed, and the Pullman remained standing on the bridge. Eleven people were killed and more than 30
