A slight accident was reported On This Day in 1880 at a coal yard in Quarryville, in Southern Lancaster County. A “gondola car was run over the trestlework”. The wheels on the car broke off. The coal yard was that of David Buffenmyer’s. Source: Lancaster daily intelligencer. ( Lancaster , Pa. ), 16 June 1880. Chronicling America : Historic American Newspapers . Library of Congress.
