WRECK OF THE FEDERAL AT UNION STATION 1953

We are often asked about the Wreck of the Federal at Union Station which happened January 15, 1953. The Federal was an express overnight train from Boston to Washington that became a runaway and crashed into Union Station 5 days before the first Eisenhower Inaugural. We have a detailed article on the incident you can read, as well as a YouTube Video about it by an individual who was there that day.
