Here is an article headlined "Terrible Explosion" that was published originally in the 15 December 1852 issue of Indiana's "Gazette." Partial Quotation: "On Tuesday last about one o'clock, P.M., a terrific scene occurred at the foot of Plane No. 6, A.P.R.R." Plane Number Six began at the summit near Cresson and sloped sharply downhill toward Duncansville. As such, it occurred near the Muleshoe Curve and the tunnel over US Route 22.
