Yes, there was a freight derailment immediately west of the Maple Ave.
crossing. The train was east bound on the south main. It involved about
a half dozen cars which went over the embankment. No locomotives were
involved and I do not know what the cause was.

On August 27th 1965 the PRR wrecker was operated by a Mainline pool
crew from
Cicero to Fariview Ave. to clear a derailment. Anyone know the details
of
why?
R.R. Repettos claim account not being called for this service is the
tip that
it occurred.

P.S. yes he collected.
