‘The Crash at Crush’

‘The Crash at Crush’

One hundred, twenty-four years and one week ago, one of the largest towns in Texas was created between Waco and the town of West. With a population of over 30,000 and named Crush for the man responsible, the town was an American Brigadoon - lasting only one day. Citizens of the temporary city came to see a head-on crash of two Missouri-Kansas - Texas Railroad steam locomotives. An event that will be long remembered after Sept. 15, 1896.
