Fourth of July - Danger Ahead! Moves to New
Server
To mark the occasion, the front page is carrying a
cool fireworks display. It will remain for the weekend so come on over to see it
now, before it's taken down. (You'll need a java-capable browser and to fully
appreciate it a soundcard is essential.)
At the site, you will find some recently added articles including an item
on the first passenger railway fatality in 1825. This occurred on the formal
opening day of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway when the Member of
Parliament for Liverpool was killed after being knocked down by the famous
Rocket locomotive. There is an article that explores the legend of
Casey Jones and his last journey, in 1900 on the Illinois Central
Railroad.
In the recent reports section are items about the recent Tangara train
wreck in Australia and the fatal collision of an American commuter train in
Indiana. All the Danger Ahead! reports related to the ICE disaster at Eschede in
Germany have been gathered together and an index of these is available. A
Special Feature about this accident will be publishe on the site very shortly
after some newly available information has been assessed and incorporated.
Come and visit soon, see the fireworks and it would be nice if you would
sign the guestbook to let us know that you've called.
