On the morning of February 5th, 1887, a Central Vermont Railroad train jumped the tracks while on a bridge over the White River. After train cars fell onto the frozen river, kerosene lights caused a fire. The multiple catastrophes killed many of the passengers and led to some changes in how trains could operate.
