| Summary, etc |
In February 1910, a monstrous blizzard hit the Northwest. High in the Cascade Mountains, near the tiny town of Wellington, two trainloads of cold, hungry passengers and their crews found their railcars marooned, buried in rising drifts on the edge of a steep ravine. Days later, with the effort to rescue the trains continuing, a colossal avalance tumbled down, sweeping the trains over the steep slope and down the mountainside. |
