    Definitely not Harrison, NY. Most likely a location on the Hudson River, like Garrison, perhaps?
  • Jessica Johnston said:
    Wonderful. We will look into it and make the change. Thanks!
  • Jim Rees said:
    I concur. No water near Harrison NY. There was a train wreck at Harrison's Landing, CT in 1892, although the accounts I've read don't mention carriages landing in the water.

  • Jim Rees said:
    Maybe it's this? 20 people died in this wreck. A definite cause was never found. Either the embankment gave way or the engine jumped the tracks. It took several days for divers to find all the bodies. AFTER THE CRASH.; Efforts to Rescue the Passengers from the Cars in the Hudson River. New York Times Oct 25, 1897. pg. 1 GARRISON'S, Oct. 24. -- After the moment of crash and splash, during which woodwork was torn, splintered, and ground into bits, and iron and steel were rent, twisted and broken, the waters closed silently and swiftly over the engine, the express car, and the combination car, while the first three sleeping cars, half submerged, were slowly sinking.
