1894 Rock Island railroad wreck

Railway incident in Nebraska, United States

The 1894 Rock Island railroad wreck occurred when a locomotive pulling two passenger cars was derailed on August 9, 1894, in Lincoln, Nebraska, killing eleven people. There were signs that a 400-foot trestle had been purposely damaged, and it was ruled as sabotage. A local man was jailed for second degree murder, though his guilt remains in doubt. It was one of the worst cases of mass murder in the state of Nebraska.
