Comment from Paul's Post 1885 Great Bradbury Road Clermont County Trainwreck... On August 8, 1885, at 10:00 A.M., a "Cincinnati & Eastern Railway" train left the Newtown Station on its spur to New Richmond. The train was flagged at the Locust Corner end of the trestle to take on a passenger and to let William Smith off. As the train began to pass over the 800-foot-long trestle at Three Forks of Nine Mile Creek (over what is known today as Bradbury Road), and began to apply its brakes, the trestle collapsed, plunging the engine, coal car, three flat cars, and combination passenger & baggage car 25-44 feet to the valley floor below. The wife of the Master Mechanic of the line was killed instantly, and William Smith of Locust Corner died a short time later at his nearby home. In total, 4 people eventually died, and about 10 were seriously injured.   Location: Clermont County, OH Date: 1/1/1885 Source: Paul Saint-Villers Photo ID: 2306 Photo Link: Click Here To See Original Categories: People |  Accidents |
