Wreck at the Fat Nancy

1888 railroad accident in Virginia

The Wreck at the Fat Nancy was one of the largest railroad disasters in Virginia's history. On the morning of July 12, 1888, the incident occurred when a trestle collapsed as a passenger train was atop it. Virginia Midland Railroad's Train 52—"The Piedmont Airline"—was crossing the 44-foot-high (13 m), 487-foot-long (148 m) trestle known as the "Fat Nancy" when it gave way, sending the train to the ground.
