In the bitter cold, just after Christmas 1876, eleven cars plunged seventy-five feet into the frigid water below. In nearly a century of heavy rail travel in Ohio, a dozen train accidents stand out as the most horrific. Fires cut short the lives of forty-three people in the head-on Doodlebug collision in Cuyahoga Falls in 1940 and eleven people in a train wreck near Dresden in 1912. Author Jane Ann Turzillo unearths these red-hot stories of ill-fated passengers, heroic trainmen and the wrecking crews who faced death and destruction on Ohio's rails.. The stoves burst into flames, burning to death all who were not killed by the fall

Among them was the Ashtabula disaster in Ohio. I'd never read a book about American train crashes and decided to look for one. I was really looking for one that covered the whole USA, but it just happened that this book about Ohio was the first book I found.

I have been interested in the Republic accident since the mid 1980's. Hank Harvey, a reporter for The Toledo Blade, wrote a fine story about the tragedy. In the mid 1990's, I read all the articles in the Tiffin newspaper that appeared at the time of the accident. Jane Tuzillo also follows up on what happened in the court cases afterward. Hers is the most complete detailed account that I have read. The other articles are just as good.
