* Long Island Railroad (LIRR)
* re. Kew Gardens, Queens train wreck
* In a New York City paper
This 30 page newspaper has two column headline on the front page: "DEWEY DEMANDS L. I. TRUSTEES QUIT OR FIGHT IN COURT" with subheads that include: "Wreck Laid To 60 M.P.H." and more. Related photo on the back page.
Other news of the day. Rag edition in great condition.
wikipedia notes: The Kew Gardens station has the unfortunate distinction of being the site of the worst accident in Long Island Rail Road history, as well as the worst in New York State History. On November 22, 1950, a collision between two Long Island Rail Road commuter trains killed 79 people and injured hundreds.[1][2] This occurred nine months after a collision at Rockville Centre (LIRR station) on February 17, 1950 that resulted in the deaths of 32 people, and serious injury of 158 people. A far more notorious historical aspect is the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese, which occurred near this station.
