An account of the 1904 World's Fair Missouri Pacific Train Wreck

"In 1904, there was a head-on collision of two Missouri Pacific trains. One of them was an east bound passenger train packed with excited people on their way to visit the World's Fair in St. Louis. In the wreck, which occurred between Warrensburg and Knob Noster, Missouri, 30 people were killed. They were from the Kansas towns of Kingman, Dexter, Cedar Vale, Sedan, Coffeyville, Edna, and Pittsburg; and from the Missouri towns of Bronaugh and Moundville."
