Summary

Description Train crash on Bohemian Western Railroad near the village of Újezd, probably around present-day train stop Cerhovice on the route from Plzeň to Prague. It happened on 10 November 1868 around 6 am. A passenger train carrying Hungarian and Slovak soldiers home from an excercise in Plzeň was stopped by deep snow on the tracks. It was followed by a cargo train loaded by coal that failed to stop and crashed into the passenger train from the back. Four passenger cars were demolished, killing 22 soldiers on the spot and injuring 60 others, 13 of which died later. The 22 first victims were buried in a mass grave at the cemetery in Cerhovice on November 13. Written according to a news article in Czech: http://kramerius.nkp.cz/kramerius/handle/ABA001/8574252
