About this listen

On June 22, 1918, a great tragedy struck the circus world when the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus train was hit by a freight train in Hammond, Indiana. The accident killed 86 people, mostly circus performers and workers, after the last two cars caught fire. The victims were buried at Showman's Rest, a section of Woodlawn Cemetery in Illinois dedicated to circus entertainers. The tragedy is still remembered as one of the deadliest train accidents in American history.Copyright Dzul qarnain
