Summary

Description
English: The location just south of the town of Orange, Virginia, USA where Virginia Midland Railroad's Train 52 crashed on the morning of July 12, 1888. Nine people died and 26 were injured. At the time, there was a 44-foot-high (13 meter) trestle, but after its collapse on that day, it was replaced with the culvert seen here.
