  • La Grande catastrophe ferroviaire de 1856 a eu lieu à une vingtaine de kilomètres au nord-ouest de Philadelphie le 17 juillet 1856, lorsque deux trains circulant en sens inverse sur la même voie se sont heurtés, faisant officiellement 67 morts et 61 blessés, bilan alors le plus meurtrier de la jeune histoire du chemin de fer. Elle est connue sous les appellations de Désastre de Camp Hill dans le comté de Montgomery et de Tragédie du train de pique-nique dans la ville de Philadelphie et est restée l'un des évènements marquants de cette époque.

  • Великое крушение поездов 1856 года (англ. The Great Train Wreck of 1856) произошло 17 июля 1856 года в городе Уайтмарш, штат Пенсильвания, между станциями Кэмп-Хилл и Форт-Вашингтон. Два поезда, двигавшиеся по одному и тому же пути навстречу друг другу, столкнулись, в результате чего погибло от 59 до 67 человек и более 100 получили ранения. Инцидент упоминался в прессе округа Монтгомери как катастрофа в Кэмп-Хилл (англ. The Camp Hill Disaster), в Филадельфии — как The Picnic Train Tragedy (с англ. — «трагедия поезда на пикник»). Крушение стало самой смертоносной железнодорожной катастрофой в мире, одним из знаковых событий своей эпохи. (ru)
