June 19 – On this day in Montana
History in 1938 emergency crews were searching through the wreckage and trying
to recover bodies from the worst train disaster in Montana history. The
legendary Milwaukee Railroad Olympian went off a bridge over the flooded
Yellowstone River in Prairie County. Eventually, 24 dead bodies were identified
in a temporary morgue in Miles City, and dozens others were injured.
