The snow was coming down fast, piling in drifts 20 feet high! It was all the train crews could do to keep the tracks clear. At the Wellington train depot in the Cascade Mountains, two trains sat stranded, blocked in by snow slides to the east and west.
One day passed, then two, then three...then six days. The snow turned to rain. Just after midnight on March 1, a lightning storm struck the mountain thrusting a ten-foot-high wave of snow barreling down. The trains tumbled 150 feet, leaving 96 people dead.
