I live in derby, Neighboring town of Angola and attend Lake Shore high School in Angola and for the most part live in Angola. I'm writing this from my grandmothers house, which is about a 2 min walk away from the spot of the Accident and with her son/my uncle whose house was used as a hospital. I must say, I've inquired many times about this and this is the only article I've seen that has informed me so well. I've traveled Holland road, where the train passed over that fateful night and have walked the tracks. It is without a doubt haunted by the souls of the those who died. This is great.

My husband and I are pretty sure we were able to find the site of the train wreck, through many helpful residents and circuitous routes. It was eerie to be there, imagining what happened. Thanks, Charity Vogel, for the fascinating story. I recently moved to Western NY and was fascinated by this story, enough to venture up to Angola.

Zach was a distant relative by marriage and possibly was much closer to my own Hubbard family. His life and times have been a mystery for me and although I knew of his death in the accident I've found very little about his life. Again tonight I looked at this article and tried to do some more research and failed to find anything new. I felt sorry that I could still not find more about him.. Sadly nothing came to light - except the date. It was today's date Dec 18 1867 - 141 years later. I'm not a supersticious man but somehow I think Zach called out to me tonight. Zach wherever you and your fellow passengers are now are now you are still remembered by your kinfolk. You are not lost to us.

I live in Angola and never new about this. I will be taking a ride there in a few days to take some picture of the location, in fact I will be going to the town hall to find out more about the right location. If you want some pictures let me know I will Email them you everyone. I will be taking my medel detector down there as well to see if I can find some medel from the train. I will let everyone know if I find enything as well. My Email is jeremynchristian@netzero.net Yes, I agree an extraordinary story. I live in Angola and never new about this.

Kudos to Charity Vogel for a gripping story of an unconscionable tragedy. What can I say: an extraordinary story, extraordinarily told.
