As a kid I used to ride my sleigh down that hill where you guys were standing, actually it was closer where Albert St, curved and turned into Fulton St.
My grandfather, Emil Hoen, was killed in this accident. Thank you for your research. If you have any information about him I would be grateful to know! Awesome work!
My grandfather was also killed in this accident.
I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrible accident!
My dad was on that train. He believed that he was the only one (or one of the few) left alive in his coach. He suffered a broken back (no paralysis, thank God), and was in a body cast for 8 months. You can imagine how my 5 yr old self felt, seeing how upset my mom was and wondering why my dad wasn’t coming home that night.
What was his name? I compiled a list of the dead and injured in appendices for my book about the wreck. I have an Arthur A. Erickson from New Shrewsbury and a Herbert J. Erickson from Red Bank in the injured/survived list.
@@GardenStateLegacy It's Arthur A. Is your book still available? Great work!
