The Vanden Station Train Wreck / Bowen, Jerry [44] [WAYITWAS-2000-44]
When you read the old newspapers, it's somewhat astonishing to see how often people were injured or killed by trains in the early part of the century. Inattention, lack of adequate warnings at railroad crossings, company policies, and the insane urge to "beat" the trains through the intersection were often the reasons for the accidents.

Elmira a quiet town but for trains, gunfire / Delaplane, Kristin [345] [ECHOS-1997-345]
In 1883, Elmira was a relatively quiet place except when the trains came through. Therefore, citizens were more than a little alarmed to hear gunfire one day. It turned out that it was the result of the town's constable, McKinney, firing on an escaping prisoner Napa Jim. Whether or not Constable McKinney hit his target is unknown.
