3 National Guardsmen lost their lives in this wreck  Contributor's Pick!       
The tank crew was part of a parade on 4/30/51, they had been given the order to proceed. Since these things don't move all that fast, the full speed Lake Cities caught them in the act. The 824 would be rebuilt and serve into the Conrail years as 4013. Akron Beacon Journal Photo. No serious injuries on the train. Notice how the Beacon Journal spelled their own name.
