In 1989 while I was managing Lakemont Amusement Park in Altoona, Pa. , the locial newspaper did a story on me and I mentioned that I born in the circus. Later I was asked by some park attendees if I knew about the train wreck that had happened several years ag0 near Tyrone, PA.  My answer to them was “no” and they began to tell me what they knew about it. I forgot their stories until I started my circus blog. I have done alot of research lately and I came across the Walter Main  train wreck.
