Bob,
Could this be the boiler explosion that happened near Wytheville in 1955? I have a copy of that report and will be putting elements of it on the Rural Retreat Depot Facebook page soon.

I tried to find a reference to this in SS&S, but didn't come up with anything during a couple-of-minutes scan. Do you have the page number handy?

Was just meandering thru the text of the Link book, Steam, Steel & Stars and noted they refer to a crown sheet failure in 1953 on the line in Damascus I think it was. I don't recall seeing much about this before. Are there any details of it, injuries to crew and passengers, etc.?


Thanks.
