Honor Roll - 25 Fatal 
Railroad & Streetcar Accidents

As railroads and streetcars have been linchpins of our nation's transportation and economy during the late 1800s and early 1900s, a disturbingly high number of unfortunate cousins have lost their lives in related accidents, in the workplace or in private activity. 

We seek on this page to identify their names and honor their memory -- in chronological order -- so they will not be forgotten.
