====The crash of the Dixie Flyer====
On March 25, 1911, the southbound [[Dixie Flyer (train)|Dixie Flyer]] running from Chicago, Illinois to Jacksonville, Florida crashed through a trestle over the Alapaha River, only a short distance from Ocilla. The wreck was found to have been caused by the engine driving wheel axle breaking off. The baggage and express cars, as well as two day coaches, were flung into the water, a steel-construction first class coach car was forced through the sleeper car, the engine stayed on the trestle, and the tender was derailed. Ten people perished as a result, and the line was shut down for 36 hours for all trains. The disaster is considered one of the region's worst train wrecks in history.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ocilla, GA Train Wreck, Mar 1911 |url=https://www.gendisasters.com/georgia/9616/ocilla-ga-train-wreck-mar-1911 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081029170342/https://www.gendisasters.com/georgia/9616/ocilla-ga-train-wreck-mar-1911 |archive-date=29 October 2008 |website=GenDisasters}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.freewebs.com/berrienhistorical/Newsletters/Old%20Berrien%20Vol%201%20Number%202.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-08-27 |archive-date=2014-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903041647/http://www.freewebs.com/berrienhistorical/Newsletters/Old%20Berrien%20Vol%201%20Number%202.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
