Tragic Western Train Wrecks and Powerhouse Explosion
A catastrophic collision near Godfrey Kansas left nine dead and many injured when the Meteor passenger train derailed after a switch was left open by a freight crew. At Fort Scott the injured faced long odds, with several expected to die, as the wreck crippled the fastest train in service. In St Louis, seven boilers exploded at the transit powerhouse, killing two and trapping twenty workers as darkness and debris hindered rescue efforts. The incident prompted formation of a Wholesale Dry Goods association with Kansas City headquarters and an executive committee including Detroit members.
