Boiler Explosion, Y5 2114, Cincinnati District

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

On another list serve that I belong to, there is a discussion about
the boiler explosion and subsequent derailment of train #84 on or
around August 23, 1950.

According to the post, eastbound- N&W 2114 Y5 2-8-8-2 exploded at
20mph 680 feet east of MP 35 at about 7:30 PM. The engineer and
fireman were killed. The engineer's body was found in a field 530 feet
west and 127 feet south of the point of explosion. The fireman's body
was found in a field 112 feet west and 200 feet north of the point of
accident.

I've done a few searches on the ICC historical collections site, but
could find no details. Does anyone have any information to share about
this accident?

Thanks..

Eric
