Summary
[edit]DescriptionTrain wheels damaged and buried by the 1889 Johnstown, Pennsylvania Flood 1 (27736645605).jpg |
On public display on the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in the town of Strasburg. From museum signage: "The 1889 Johnstown Flood was a catastrophic natural disaster [sic] that resulted in the deaths of 2,209 people and damages of $17 million. The flood was also costly for the railroads, which had over 300 freight cars, 18 passenger cars, 33 locomotives, 50 miles of track, and several structures: railroad bridges, a roundhouse, and other related buildings damaged or destroyed. Despite the devastation, rail service was restored within two weeks. Supposedly, these wheels were discovered in 1957 during excavation for a new building in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. It is presumed that they were buried by the flood." [Note: this was not a natural disaster - it was man-made. The 1889 flood in Johnstown, Pennsylvania was caused by collapse of an artificial dam.] |
