On a frigid February night in 1887, the Montreal Express plunged from a bridge into the frozen White River, creating the deadliest railroad disaster in Vermont history. Through eyewitness accounts and newspaper reports from the scene, we follow the harrowing stories of passengers trapped in the wreckage, desperate rescue attempts, and final acts of courage amid fire and ice. We uncover how a broken rail, outdated railroad technology, and a devastating inferno combined to claim dozens of lives. And as the smoke cleared, local legends began to emerge—stories of phantom trains, restless spirits, and a young boy said to still wander the riverbank searching for his father.
