This Universal Newsreel from August 25, 1955 deals with several topics including a train derailment in Lowell near the Concord River. Unfortunately, I had trouble editing the video and the Lowell item doesn’t start until 3:25 into it. Anyway, it is a great watch.

    The crash was at the “Six Arch Bridge”.The Lowell to Boston train went over the Goncord River at this bridge.The first arch on the Swede Village side of the river was a great swimming place for us in our youth.
