East Brookfield, Massachusetts
Train Wreck
September 1904
MORGAN AND PRIMATE IN CRASH
Special Carrying Financier and Archbishop Hits
Engine.
East Brookfield, Mass., special: A New York
Central two-car special train, carrying a party
that included the archbishop of Canterbury and
J. PIERPONT MORGAN, struck a light engine here
Friday. The special was running at sixty miles
an hour, but no one, even the crew of the light
engine, was hurt. MR. MORGAN was at breakfast
and was considerably shaken up, as were the
others in the party.
Mirrors and other articles were broken by the
impact. The special remained on the track and
carried the light engine 100 yards. The party
was on the way from Bar Harbor to Washington.
There was a delay of an hour. MR. MORGAN sent
several messages, emphasizing the fact that no
one was hurt.
