Train wreck near Trempealeau raises suspicions of wrecking
A Chinese mystery surrounds the burning bridge at Trempealeau that destroyed the Oriental Limited. Government quarry engineer George Schaefer reported seeing two men near the bridge before the crash. Trains No. 53 and No. 44 had passed hours earlier. Fire started about 1:35 pm on the wooden span, with a mass of twisted steel and burning embers left as the scene. If the timing had shifted, many of the 140 passengers could have died. The wreck remains under investigation as officials note the fire likely did not originate from engine cinders.
