The CZ's first run was March 21, 1949.

All
 
A daughter of a fellow modeler is planning to write a novel either about or including a passenger train wreck in Red Oak, IA in 1942.  My friend indicated it was the CZ but I thought 1942 was before the CZ went into service under that name.
 
The meat of my request is the circumstances.  The rumor is that the wreck was caused by sabotage, perhaps by a German sabotage team.  The charges were small enough to just derail the train and I don't believe there were any fatalities.  I say rumor because there is no information, they checked the local newspaper and county historical records to no avail.
 
Evidently, the rumor is that the War Department covered the incident up so as to not instill panic as the travelling public was using the railroads pretty much exclusively for travel of any distance in  1942. 
 
My request is either for first hand information or possible leads to find the information.  I will provide the contact information for the author if anyone wants to provide first hand information.
 
Thanks
