The Mystery of the Newark Bay Train Disaster

On a September morning in 1958, commuter train 3314 plunged into Newark Bay after the engineer ignored open drawbridge signals, killing 48 of 100 passengers. Despite working safety systems, the cause remains unclear—possible engineer incapacitation and missing dead man's switch were key factors. The tragedy prompted investigations and led to new safety regulations, but questions about why no one stopped the train persist to this day.
