ICG Wreck 1         
On 1 April 1975 this switch on the Illinois Central Gulf (former GM&O) at Florenville, Louisiana was tampered with, causing a southbound local to enter the siding even though the target indicated it was set for the main line. The train collided with the cars that were stored there.
