  There were a number of wrecks involving the Bar Harbor Express over the years, but this picture probably depicts the worst of them, which took place on the morning of September 2, 1913, north of New Haven, Connecticut. Travelling at 40 miles per hour in heavy fog, the White Mountain Express plowed through two cars of the Bar Harbor Express and overturned a third coach, killing 21 and injuring 50. Here is a page with links to a series of articles about the disaster, published between September 2 and September 5, 1913.
