Looking for anyone with information on the PRR train derailment/wreck of Feb 2, 1961 at Bowie, MD. A special gamblers train from Philadelphia jumped the tracks when the brakes failed. Six people were killed and 130 injured. My brother, William Wyatt, was the "fireman" on this train. Also looking for photos of the wreck.
