53 years ago#TBT Halloween Edition

In the pre-dawn darkness of October 31, 1965, a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train rumbled through Elkton. As the 118-cars neared the municipal limits on the western edge of town, 41 of them, some of filled with toxic chemicals and liquid propane, derailed. The Sunday tranquility in the county seat was jolted by the noise of the crash, which was sending huge flames and dangerous smoke into the sky.

While Chief Slaughter mobilized his forces and requested aid from as far away as Wilmington and Aberdeen, an enormous explosion sent a towering mushroom type fireball into the sky. Soon 100 firefighters were on hand, struggling to contain the spreading flames.

About 7 a.m. the chief ordered an urgent, mandatory evacuation for parts of western Elkton. The Sunday morning DJ working the early shift at WSER took to the airwaves, broadcasting the emergency information as National Guardsmen went door to door to make sure residents departed immediately.

By 1 p.m. the situation was under control, but it was reported that the fires “would burn all night.” A spokesperson from the railroad said, “it was the worst wreck he had seen in the last 20 years because of the location and the danger from the burning cars, which were filled with poisons and liquid petroleum gas."

I witnessed the wreck ( somewhat ) as a 13 year old living in the manor. Saw numerous blue vertical flashes of light as cars derailed. I stood on bank of swamp at end of road 12 and watched as a tank car ruptured and exploded hours after the wreck. I remember the national guard escorting us out of development for a day. My mother and I snuck back in manor after dark only to have chief Tommy Macintire encourage us to get out quickly due to phosgene gas in tank cars.
