Description
Train wreck on Southern Pacific at Lake Labish Nov. 12, 1890""On 11/12/1890 there was a major railroad disaster at Lake Labish, Oregon. A Southern Pacific passenger train was crossing a long trestle that collapsed killing 5 injuring 122. Lake Labish has long since been drained and is now farmland. The cache lies just north of this fateful location. When driving north on I-5 you will notice the long fill the Railroad currently runs on with one small trestle bridge. In 1890 the fill was all trestle"".
