The following is a question asked of me that I know not the answer. Can anyone solve this person's question? Please email at the address below... and tell them you came to help them from TrainBoard.com! Thanks!
---------------------------------------
The brother of my GGrandfather was a conductor on the CRI & PRR. His name
was John Marion Sammons. I know he lived in Colo Spgs in 1903. A family
story is that he (and the rest of his crew) were fired after a train wreck
(possibly a head on collision). I'd be interested if you know of any
archives on train wrecks on the CRI & PRI in the Colorado area around 1903.
I'm researching local newspaper archives, but that is a big task.
Thanks for any info you may have. If you don't know anything, that's okay
too.
