preview

Cole Creek Train Wreck. Casper College Western History Center.On an unusually stormy September evening in 1923, 69 passengers boarded train No. 30. It departed the Burlington Depot in downtown Casper and was scheduled to reach Denver, Colorado, the following morning. Just an hour into its voyage, disaster struck: the locomotive and most of the passenger cars plummeted through the dark night into a void left by the washed-out Cole Creek Bridge. The result was Wyoming's worst passenger rail disaster.Casper historian Con Trumbull will be signing copies of his just-released book, "Steam, Steel, and Silence: The Story of the Cole Creek Train Wreck," at Fort Caspar Museum from 2:00 to 3:00 pm on Saturday, October 21st.Con Trumbull, president of the Fort Caspar Museum Association, is a fifth generation Wyoming rancher from Casper.

He brings first-hand knowledge of operating century-old steam locomotives and passenger cars to provide a unique insight into the Cole Creek Wreck. He co-authored "Images of America: Casper" and was the author for "Images of Rail: Central Wyoming Railroads" as well as a children's book series "The Adventures of Dirt the Shop Cat."You can urchase his book at the museum's gift shop, have it signed by the author, and then enjoy a visit to the Museum.
