  • 80 Years Ago This Month Wreck of the Crescent Limited
    1935 - 2013 VOLUME 44 NUMBER 8 DISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER W EBSITE: W W W .NRHS1.ORG AUGUST 2013 80 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH WRECK OF THE CRESCENT LIMITED On the afternoon of August 23, 1933 the Weather Bureau updated an already ominous forecast by predicting that strong winds and heavy rain, as much as 7 inches, would inundate the Washington area. The storm had formed in the Atlantic days before and had come ashore in Virginia causing much damage there. Rain had already begun falling and some streets were becoming impassable and traffic was snarled. In the era before tropical storms were named this storm was later called, The Chesapeake and Potomac Hurricane. At the same time the fast express train, The Crescent Limited, had left New York and was speeding towards Washington’s Union Station and then after a layover in Washington it would continue to its eventual destination of New Orleans. When the train left Baltimore the engineer was handed an advisory telling him about high water and as a result, he reduced his speed to thirty miles an hour as he approached the city. As the train neared Washington it began its short journey over the Anacostia River (then known as Eastern Branch) on a bridge that had been built in 1903. The Anacostia's floodwaters had undermined the bridge's central piers, causing the bridge to sag and the rails to separate. Halfway across the bridge the supports began to give way and the locomotive and several passenger cars plunged into the flood-swollen river. Although traveling only 30 miles per hour, the locomotive was hurled nearly 125 feet from the point where it left the rails.
