Train accidents weren't that uncommon in those days due to the primitive nature of the equipment and lack of maintenance by the LIRR due to its poor financial condition which mirrored that of its parent the PRR. Penn Station also became very run down in that era despite being (and still is) the busiest railway station in North America. Thankfully today the LIRR is a much safer railroad. |
