Wreck of the Sunset Limited 1:00:00

Amtrak's worst accident in its history takes place in Big Bayou Canot, near Mobile, AL., when the Sunset Limited derails from a bridge into the water, killing 44. The accident occurred after a towboat with barges struck the bridge and deformed the rails. The towboat's pilot became lost in the dense fog and left his intended course up the Mobile River.
