Notes


Time Line

1893. A passenger train on the Flint River division of the F&PM was ditched by a washout this morning a short distance from the Genesee Village depot. The train was running at about 15 mph. There were ten or fifteen passengers aboard the train who were all more or less injured but none severely hurt. After the passengers were collected from their perilous positions they were loaded on the engine and tender and brought to Flint. [DFP-1893-0325]
