Hi
Previously posted on fallen flags forum. Also any regular visitors on here for the Barriger Library in St Louis?

Where can I locate a report on a GM&O accident in the middle of Houston MS on 19 December 1962, where 19 freight cars were derailed and fell on to Highway 8 etc.. Newspaper photo does not have info on locos etc.

A earlier derailment in the late 50s early 1960s also in the middle of Houston MS, where the GM&O Ingalls 4-S diesel loco was derailed and rolled down a bank ending upside down. Required recovery and repairs in Mobile AL. Any reports about on this accident.

Thankyou

Charles Harris
