Team at the site of the Bridgeport train wreck; Roger Bresnahan is at front-right, seated

In the early hours of July 11, during the 1911 Eastern North America heat wave, the team was on a passenger train (the Federal Express) traveling to Boston when it derailed in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Cardinals were on the last two cars of the train, which were the only cars not to overturn. The team was credited with assisting other passengers until help arrived; 14 passengers and crew members were killed in the incident.
