THIS STORY:
It was June 11, 1966.
"There was a picnic grove and local Cub Scout groups had gathered. You could hear the laughter as the kids played games like baseball, running races and sack races. Hot dogs, pop and ice cream was served. Many happy faces, a typical picnic of that time.
Being young adventurous kids, a friend and I followed a dirt trail into the woods. The trail ran parallel to a branch of the Chicago River. It ended at an embankment up to a train trestle. We sensed danger and turned back. Four little girls came the opposite way, passed us, and headed straight to the trestle. Then we heard an approaching hum and felt the rumble below our feet.
There was no way the engineer could stop the train. A couple of other kids ran back to the grove to call out for help. A few fathers ran down the trail to see what had happened. Panic ensued as the mothers in the grove scrambled to find and gather their children...."
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Absolutely heartbreaking. 🌹💔🌹💔🌹 My grandpa was born in 1910. At 17 years old he was driving his father to work one early morning before dawn. He thought he could get over the train tracks before the train got there. He was very wrong. 😔 He got thrown from the vehicle, and sustained a head injury. His father died instantly. From that moment my grandpa (after spending 12 months in the hospital) became the head of the family, responsible for his mother and raising his much younger siblings. 💔 He married my grandma at 22 and they raised 6 children, & they were married for 74 years!

This is so sad. I remember playing on the railroad tracks when I was a kid. We used to lay pennies and other coins on the track when we heard the train coming and go back get them after the train left. It was just on dry land where we could run up to it and run back away from it. I think all kids are intrigued by the trains at some point in their lives. I hope these little girls are resting in peace.🕊👼👼👼🕊 Stay safe out there Ron.🙂💟

We had a railroad about 3blks from us 1967 or so when I was about 7 or 8yrs old in Bham, Alabama. I had 2 good girlfriends and we 3 girls loved to go there and wave at the people and had the whistle blow. Our mom's would whip our butts. I never knew the dangers we were putting ourselves in until I got older. My mom was a good woman and left biscuits in a sack for the "hobo's"on our fence.We didn't stick around to watch them though because my mom told us they'd come back and eat our supper. LOL, believe me in those times it was scarce. We weren't poor but hardly a nickle to rub together. This story is a sad one to me. I enjoyed it, thanks. 3 girls could have been us.

These stories help bring closure to those who hear about them. I always wonder about the parents in these stories. They first hear of the shocking news and they must go through heart-wrenching agony. They carry some bit of that agony with them to their graves. What do they think when the girls' schoolmates graduate from high school, knowing their daughters could have been there? What do they think when the girls' friends get married and have children, knowing that their daughter will never have that joy?

I also find it interesting that the boys turned around, but the little girls ventured forth to the trestle, toward danger. Do we know anything about the little girl who survived? I would think this incident might haunt her via survivor’s guilt. The train engineers as well. A tragedy for all involved. R.I.P. Alexis, Diane and Marlene. Sweet Little Girls. 🙏

So sad, I once live 1 block away from train track, when my son was about 8 years old. I didn't get freaked out, until he started bringing pennies and nickels home that I've been ran over by a train. Realizing that he was really messing around the train tracks, I felt really, really weirded out about it, it needed to stop, so I moved us to the country. His 2 little friends, that lived in the town by us, they were always messing around the train tracks. Well one day, one of them was on their bicycle and it stopped to put some pennies and nickels on the tracks and got their foot stuck between the rail and the block that holds the rail up and got hit by train, he was only 13 years old! The other little boy grew up to be 18 years old, out driving and stopped on the same train tracks to wave at another friend and didn't see the train coming. He never looked, his friend said! So, I am thankful my son and I left that town. He's going to be 37 year's old this coming August.

The deaths of young children are such which make me, a man closing on 50 years, to feel speechless. When I studied I used to work in congregations and churches, there were often funeral services held. What was difficult for me personally was to see those little coffins, even though you had to be professional, you were aware that the tears were waiting around the corner for their opportunity to appear and to pour down your face. It just felt somehow so unnecessary and unfair. Rest in peace, little ones. 💔💖

When I was a kid, in the 80s, we would have people come to our school to talk about railroad safety, stuff like respecting trains, and not climbing into empty boxcars, and they especially impressed upon us why walking across railroad bridges was so dangerous. I wasn't even remotely tempted to go walking around railroad tracks after that. I wonder if anybody had ever told these girls that railroad bridges were dangerous, and they needed to stay off of them. Maybe the girls did know this, but thought they could get off the bridge in time if they saw or heard a train coming. The engineer who hit them must have been feeling some major trauma afterwards, even though there was no way he could have avoided hitting them. I also feel bad for the one little girl who did survive, but who lost three of her friends in one swoop. RIP, little angels.

@@Cojo910 your welcome. And yes I still miss him even though it was so long ago. But he will never be forgotten. Railroad tracks are no place to be playing on very dangerous

Oh gosh that’s terrible to hear, so dangerous on those tracks. Many of us did it. I did it a lot. In fact we hopped freight trains. I’m so lucky to still be here.

Ron you are an amazing person. Thank you for sharing this story of young children and how quickly things can turn dangerously. When I was 5 years old my older brother was walking me around the next block and he showed me a big tree in a yard. He said that there had been an accident on the tree when a six year old boy had been climbing and had fallen and been killed. I didn’t know the boy but I wished that I had. I would love to go to his grave and I would put a flower on his headstone just like you do. It was the first time in my life that I realized that children die too. Thank you and God bless you always 🙋‍♀️🙏🕊

Your films capture so many stories eventually lost to time forever. Thank you for giving everyone - young and old, rich or poor - the eulogy of remembrance.
