		The Malbone Street Wreck, also known as the Brighton Beach Line Accident of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT), was a rapid transit railroad accident that occurred November 1, 1918, beneath the intersection of Flatbush Avenue, Ocean Avenue, and Malbone Street, in the community of Flatbush, Borough of Brooklyn, New York City.
		The Malbone Street Wreck was not caused by any single event or failure, but a series of individual circumstances, the omission of any one of which might have prevented the accident or at least reduced its severity.
		In the Malbone Street wreck train, two trailers were coupled together, and it was these two cars that sustained the bulk of the damage, both physical and human.

	rapidtransit.net Book Review - The Malbone Street Wreck by Brian Cudahy
		When I was growing up in Flatbush in the '50s, folks were still talking about "Malbone Street." Though the tragedy was almost four decades past, it was still a topic of conversation, as there was hardly a Flatbush family that was untouched.
		Any discussion of the Malbone Street Accident among rail or history buffs has thus tended to be a frustrating one, as those who have done some independent research often find themselves spending more time refuting popular misconceptions of the facts of the incident than in discussing the facts themselves.
		Note especially that important details of the wreck are in error in the newspaper account, especially that the first car (which emerged light damaged—see picture above) bore the brunt of the damage and fatalities.

		The motorman stated that he had attempted to slow the train during his interrogation, but the subsequent investigation of the wreck indicated that no attempt to engage the emergency brake had been made and that he had not attempted to reverse the train's motors.
		Additional safety devices were added to the subway and elevated system over the years, including more effective dead-man's controls to halt runaway trains, and signalling and automatic trackside devices called trippers or train stops to reduce the likelihood of trains operating too fast for conditions.

		I can't think of a better word to describe Brian Cudahy's new book The Malbone Street Wreck, especially considering the amount of hype the book received prior to its release.
		Cudahy did correct a number of significant misconceptions, which I greatly appreciate, but his style is cold and wooden, not what I expected based on his other works.
		But it's not written well enough for anyone other than die-hard buffs to want to have it in their libraries.
