Collision at St. Louis Leaves Dozens Dead and Injured
A Frisco collision near Windsor station 13 miles from St. Louis killed eight passengers and injured over twenty as two trains moving opposite directions failed to stop for orders. The second excursion section bound for St. James ignored Spring Park orders, crashed into the accommodation, causing telescoped cars and deaths including Barney McKenna and his daughter Maud, with many injured. Rescue efforts followed by doctors and officials, while investigations point to disobedience or neglect by the excursion crew and a forgotten siding.
