On June 23, 1900, the Southern Railroad Company's Engine #7 and its
passengers were greeted by a tremendous storm en route to Atlanta,
Georgia. Stalled for some time in nearby McDonough, travelers grew
impatient as rain pelted the roof and wind buffeted the cars. When
finally given the go-ahead, their resulting joy was short-lived:
the locomotive soon reached Camp Creek--and disaster. After weeks
of constant showers, the swollen creek had eroded the bridge
supports. Under the train's weight, the bridge collapsed, and all
but nine perished in either the fiery fall or watery depths. With
the help of local newspapers and eyewitness accounts, Georgia
historian and professor Jeffery C. Wells recounts this tragic tale.
