Wreck on Central of Georgia near Macon kills two
A Central of Georgia wreck near the Ocmulgee river bridge in Macon results in two Negro women dead and about forty injured, with seven severely hurt. The crash was caused by a defective switch forcing parts of the train onto different rails. The list of injured includes James Freeman and other travelers, railway staff, and circus and carnival company members, as crews failed to clear the wreck quickly and the Savannah train was delayed.
