About this event
Since the 1830s, railroads have shaped communities across Delmarva, linking small towns to major East Coast corridors while also introducing new dangers. This program explores the region’s long history of railroad disasters, from the early steam era through the 20th century. Drawing on newspaper accounts, photographs, and official investigations, the talk examines major accidents on Delmarva, along with community responses and the safety reforms these events helped drive. This presentation offers a compelling look at how railroading brought both progress and peril to Delmarva.
