Wreck ot 1858

Following Is an account printed by a South Norwalk paper of the great wreck on the New Haven road in that city May 6, 1885,
 "The train was the Boston express which left New York at 8 o'clock. At the time of the accident the draw was open and the draw tender was just about to close it. It had been opened about 15 minutes before for the passage of the steamer Pacific. The fact of the draw being open was communicated to the train by signal, which consisted of a red ball elevated upon a pole. Un less this ball was in sight, the trains were forbidden to go upon the bridge. The train did not stop at South Nor walk, and, being about eight minutes late, was hurrying upon Its way to make up lost time. The engineer was at his post, the conductor in the second car, and unoccupied.
 The absence of the ball or signal was unnoticed, or, if noticed, was unheeded The train Saed the depot and around the curve at a rate of not less than 20 miles an hour. When it reached about 300 feet of the draw, two sudden sharp alarms of the whistle were blown; the engineer, Edward w Tucker, the fireman and the brakeman loaped from the train, which rushed on into the open draw. The engine, tender, baggage-car, smoking car and two passenger cars, to- gether with about half of the next car, plunged some 20 feet into the watery pit below i'll one mass of wreckage.
 Persons who were near and saw the catastrophe say that the noise of the crash and the wall of the struggling and dying passengers were heartrending to a degree which language is utterly inadequate to describe. The water be- ing at full tide, nearly all in the for ward car were drowned. The number of lives lost was A, and 25 were rescued from the wreck alive, but badly injured. The calamity caused great excitement and indignation meetings were held, one at Norwalk and another at New Haven. The legislature took the matter into consideration and adopted resolu- tion requiring all trains to stop at least one minute before passing any draw"
