English: On March 1st, 1910, two Great Northern trains, the "Seattle Express" train no. 25, and Fast Mail train No. 27 were caught in an avalanche near Wellington, Washington. The avalanche pushed both trains 150 feet down into the Tye River valley, where the cars were buried in snow and debris. Ninety-six people were killed in the disaster. Rescue workers wrapped the bodies in blankets and transported them from the scene on toboggans to Wellington. Despite their efforts, the last victim was not uncovered until July of that year.
