	Abergele Rail Disaster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The mail train was skirting the hills and laboring up the grade at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour, when its engineer suddenly perceived the loose wagons coming down upon it around the curve, and then but a few yards off.
		The collision was not a particularly severe one, and the engineer of the mail train especially stated that at the moment it occurred the loose cars were still moving so slowly that he would not have sprung from his engine had he not seen that they were loaded with oil.
		Among the thirty-three victims of the disaster the body of no single one retained any traces of individuality; the faces of all were wholly destroyed, and in no case were there found feet or legs or anything at all approaching to a perfect head.

		After an hour the train was approaching Abergele in north Wales.
		At the same time at Llandulas to the west of Abergele, railway workers shunted cargo trucks from the main line to the sidings.
		During the inquest, the coroner received an anonymous letter that put the blame on the Fenians; the Irish rebels had supposedly tried to assassinate the wife and servants of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

		The train involved was the Irish Mail which made daily trips from Euston, London to Holyhead and was widely regarded as the fastest train in the country.
		As the train was approached Abergele a little after midday, goods trucks, two of which contained fifty barrels of flammable paraffin, were being shunted into position on the line at Llanddulas.
		The Countess had taken her benevolence from Abergele Parish in favour of Llanddulas, so the land originally planned for their development was unavailable and they were built in 1961 on glebe land adjoining Groes Lwyd Vicarage.

	BBC - North West Wales Abergele - Abergele train disaster
		The train had the reputation of being the fastest in the kingdom and transported some of the wealthiest men and women in the country to their estates in Ireland via the Holyhead ferry.
		About an hour later, as the train was approaching Abergele and ready to climb towards Colwyn Bay, goods trucks were still being shunted on the main line three miles ahead at Llanddulas.
		I was very touched and grateful to the church and residents of Abergele for remembering those who lost their lives, and for maintaining the memorial so well through all those years.

		The wagons contained Cambrian oil, a type of paraffin used in miners' lamps, and within a few minutes of the collision the engine and its passenger carriages were consumed with flames; thirty-three people lost their as lives.
		The Marquis of Hamilton, a first class passenger who had boarded the train at Euston, survived at the rear of the train since new coaches were added to the front of the train when the engine was changed at Chester.
		One result of the Abergele disaster was the passing of the 1862 Petroleum Act that put petroleum products in the same category of danger as gunpowder, plague and diseased cattle.

		The coroner who presided over the inquest into the disaster received an anonymous letter, claiming that 'the catastrophe had a great deal to do with Fenianism';, and that railway officials along the line to Holyhead were undercover Fenian agents.
		One survivor, the Marquis of Hamilton, was certain that death was instantaneous from inhaling smoke; but Catherine Dicken who lived in a cottage by the track told the inquest that she believed the victims could have been saved but were burned to death behind locked doors.
		They included William and Christopher Parkinson who, by rights, should never have been on the train but they had tipped the driver of the Blackburn to Liverpool train to go faster so as to make the connection at Chester and guarantee their place on the Irish Mail.

	Abergele Railway Disaster ~ August 21st 1868
		I have only, therefore, to say that, the account of the accident which reached town by telegram this morning fell short of conveying an idea of what today's examination has proved the occurrence to have been.
		It is believed that 27 persons have been killed; but all is still confusion, and I cannot give this as the correct number.
		Neither has the real cause of the rolling back of the goods train been as yet ascertained.
