The Deadliest Locomotive That Vaporized Its Crew And Was Returned To Service : The Mallet
There is a sound a compound locomotive makes before the crossover pipe fails. The men who survived described it exactly once. The ones who heard it twice did not live to describe it a third time. On June 9, 1953, Chesapeake and Ohio locomotive 1642 departed Handley, West Virginia with 123 loaded coal hoppers. Previous crews had reported a faulty water level gauge. The locomotive had been inspected and returned to service. At 5:25 PM, a telegraph operator watched it approach from 600 feet away. The locomotive appeared to disintegrate. Engineer WH Anderson, fireman JW Sullivan, and brakeman O Richmond were killed. ICC report number 3520 listed the cause as overheated crown sheet due to low water. Georgia Anderson received $10,000. #IndustrialHistory #AmericanHistory #RailroadHistory #LaborHistory #WestVirginiaHistory
