Message Board Post:
Charles Caine of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is listed among the dead in a train accident.
The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Train No. 5, The Pacific Express left a snowy
Erie, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of December 29, 1876. As The Pacific Express plowed
through the snow and crossed a bridge over the Ashtabula River, about 100 yards from the
railroad station at Ashtabula, Ohio, the passengers heard a terrible cracking sound. In
just seconds, the bridge fractured and the train plunged 70 feet into a watery abyss.
I am not related to this family, just passing on this information which comes from a
website called "Ashtabula Bridge Disaster." The link for the site is listed
below.
