Train wrecks

[bayshoredude]

it is not actually a train wreck but a train accident where some teens on prom night tried to beat the train in their van by mineola train tracks. I remember a tv movie was made about it. I think it took place in the late 70's early 80's. i think only one survived and drinking may have been invloved. I tried looking it up but came up empty handed. where can i look for train accidents on LI? i mean like people getting hit by trains.

Think it was early 82. -One of the passengers was the late state Senator John Caemmerer's (sp?) daughter and the only survivor. He died shortly before this accident, and ironically was a biggie on transportation funding...
