A new year, so I thought I'd give this another try
I'm once again looking for any information on the following incident or the
people involved.
On 2 September 1900, on a foggy Sunday morning, a heavy excursion train
bound for Atlantic City and a milk train bound for Philadelphia collided on the
Reading and Philadelphia track in the little train station of Hatfield,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. 13 people were killed, and almost a half-hundred
others were injured. Four men were held responsible.
What information I already have can be accessed through here:

ieldtrainwreck.html
If anyone knows where I might be able to look for information (or even has
an idea), let me know.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
