Angola Horror
On December 18, 1867, the Buffalo and Erie Railroad's eastbound New York Express derailed as it approached the high truss bridge over Big Sister Creek, just east of the small settlement of Angola, New York, on the shores of Lake Erie. When they struck bottom, one of the wrecked cars was immediately engulfed in flames as the heating stoves in the coach spilled out coals and ignited its wooden timbers. The last two cars of the express train were pitched completely off the tracks and plummeted into the creek bed below.
About fifty people died at the bottom of the gorge or shortly thereafter, and dozens more were injured. The other car was badly smashed. Rescuers from the small rural community responded with haste, but there was almost nothing they could do but listen to the cries of the dying--and carry away the dead and injured thrown clear of the fiery wreck.
