{{main|Bryn Athyn Train Wreck}}
On December 5, 1921, two [[Reading Company|Reading Railroad]] passenger steam trains collided head-on on a blind curve. The impact sent red-hot coals flying forward from each engine, raining down on the wooden passenger cars of the oncoming train. Twenty-seven people were killed and some 70 injured. Most of those killed had burned to death, in part because the wooden cars had burned so quickly and also because of the inability of rescue workers to get access to the trains, which were wedged between the rock walls of a cut through hilly and wooded terrain without road access for fire equipment. The incident led to a ban on the use of wooden rail cars in order to prevent future disasters of a similar nature.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Weckselblatt |first1=Gary |title=Bryn Athyn train crash a 'Titantic' disaster |url=https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/article/20131201/news/312019866 |access-date=20 November 2020 |work=Bucks County Courier Times |date=1 December 2013}}</ref>
