June 11, 1906
Atlantic City Flyer Is Wrecked At Eatontown
"The morning express from Atlantic City, one of the fast trains of the Jersey Central Railroad, was wrecked at Eatontown, New Jersey, on June 11.1906 One passenger was killed and a score injured in the smashup, which was caused, apparently, by a switch that had been left open. The express consisted of a combination baggage and smoking-car two Pullmans, and a day coach. When the engine struck the switch it jumped the track and plunged into a swamp, dragging the cars after it."
