Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2025-11-17 03:41:56Copy HTML Earlier that decade we introduced Public Holidays, or Bank Holidays as they became known, giving workers extra days off beyond Christmas Day and Good Friday. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Angola, New York. The Erie New York passenger train crashed off a 60-foot trestle & tumbled into Big Sister Creek below. Forty-nine passengers died, scalded by wood stoves or crushed in the snow. The worst train disaster in the U.S. during the 19th century. Angola is a suburb of Buffalo. Charlie Miner, a brakeman from Buffalo was a hero, taking measures to save 150 people by keeping the remaining cars on the rails. |
