Message Board Post:
Did any of your CARROLL ancestors work on the railroads? Or were any involved in
train-related mishaps? I have just created a message board on
Ancestry.com for U.S.
Railroad Accidents. There is already at least one posting involving a CARROLL.
PLEASE BE FOREWARNED THAT SOME OF THE NEWS ARTICLES ARE GRAPHIC in regard to injuries and
deaths. Employment on the railroad and train travel involved many dangers and deaths over
the years.
If you have news articles or stories regarding accidents that occurred on the railroads,
in train depots, on train bridges, etc., please post them on the Railroad Accidents board
along with ALL surnames involved. And be sure to check the board for your surnames.
Stories will be added regularly. The new board is here:
Boards>Topics>Disasters>United States>Railroad Accidents
Go to main Message Boards Page.
Under topics click on “browse all topics.”
Click on Disasters.
Click on United States.
Click on Railroad Accidents.
If you think you’ll want to return to this category regularly, go to the Railroad
Accidents message board and from just above the messages click on Add to Favorites or Add
to Notifications. This will make it much easier to access the Railroad Accidents board on
future visits to
Ancestry.com.
