A fact from 1882 Spuyten Duyvil train wreck appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 January 2024 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that locals responding to the 1882 Spuyten Duyvil train wreck used snowballs to extinguish the fires in the wrecked cars (illustration pictured)? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2024/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/1882 Spuyten Duyvil train wreck.

If there is information as to why the person primarily responsible, the politician who reportedly pulled the emergency brake, was not identified or prosecuted, that would be a good addition. Bill ( talk) 21:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC) reply
