This Week in Railroad History: This week in 1882, the W.C. Coup Circus - one of the premier traveling shows of the 19th century - experienced a tragic trainwreck near Cairo, Illinois. The circus train - carrying animals, performers, and equipment - was traveling from one performance to the next when the train derailed; poor track conditions were in part to blame. This trainwreck magnified the need for routine track maintenance and as a result, led to railway companies upgrading their tracks and the implementation of better safety protocols.
Routine maintenance is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency. Like the W.C. Coup Circus trainwreck, accidents and track failures can occur unexpectedly and at any time. Our team at American Track is readily available to respond to your immediate needs. Contact us today!: americantrack.com/contact-us/ #railroad #RailroadHistory #routinetrackmaintenance

Turn Around Don't Drown® (U.S. National Weather Service (NWS): Our Pennsylvania office experienced the tail end of Tropical Storm Debby overnight into today: 4-6 inches of heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning. Power outages stand at approximately 2,100 customers surrounding the Harrisburg area, with trees down across roadways, accompanied by minor and major flooding.
CDC note that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water; many of these drownings are preventable. Do not underestimate the force and power of water.
Thank you, Elizabeth Gallo, in our Boiling Springs office, for the photos. #keepsafetyontrack
