7/04/05 Thank you for visiting! Here, you'll find pictures of train accidents and derailments taken by my son while on the job, informative links, resources, forum, live chat, email, kids page and a memorial for Ben. Please take the time to meet the person that took these pictures. You'll also find "no right click" and although that may be an irritation, it's the only way I could find right now to protect Ben's photos. You can bookmark and open pages in other windows off of your browser tool bar. Any link outside of this site will open in a new window so you may need to set your browser to accept pop-ups.

If you find a link or resource that's helpful to you, let them know how you got there. If you use the Train Wreck forum and have received information there, please acknowledge the person with a thank-you, in particular, Ray State. He answers many, many questions and that's on his time. Richard Alumbaugh has posted much information also, as well as sending it to me, on train wrecks. Also if you haven't found what you're looking for here, visit North East Rails. He has extensive information on rail accidents with other rail related information. Don't forget to sign the guestbook.

In Honor of Ben

I can't say that I knew Ben,

but one day we shall meet.

And the smile he still wears,

will make it all complete.

I can't say that I've spoken to Ben

but I can feel his presence near.

He soars with Angels through the sky

while he holds on to his Mom so dear.

I can't say that I've seen his heart

but one day I'll see his face.

And, the hugs shared with his Mom,

will be a warm & loving embrace.

Maybe I can say that I've met Ben.

Maybe he is sending these words to me.

And maybe as he smiles down from Heaven,

he is sending love where it needs to be.

The Mention of His Name

"The mention of my child's name

May bring tears to my eyes,

But it never fails to bring

Music to my ears.

If you are really my friend,

Let me hear the beautiful music of his name.

It soothes my broken heart

And sings to my soul."

Two diesel engines sit crammed under a 100-year-old bridge on the main CSX east-west line. Four engines that were linked rolled away from an Akron terminal yard at 6:45 yesterday morning and struck a fifth train. CSX has yet to determine how the trains got loose. Cranes roll up to the crash site of two CSX diesel engines stuck under a bridge. The cranes, or sidewinders, arrived yesterday to remove the trains, each of which weighs 150 to 180 tons.
