Near Hammond, Indiana, a 26-car train bearing workers and performers from the Hagenbeck–Wallace Circus crashes when the engineer falls asleep at the wheel. An estimated 86 people are killed in the accident. The fire resulting from the crash is severe enough that some of the victims are never able to be identified.
Here is the episode on Disaster Area Podcast:
If you enjoy the podcast and want to support author/podcaster Jennifer Matarese, the following are some links to her social media accounts. I want her to be able to afford to write her next book, because I really want to read it. Become her patron on Patreon; you'll feel like a Renaissance-era Venetian arts patron, turning your money into art.

If you don't have money--this is quite understandable--the best free way to support Jennifer and her research, writing, and podcasting is to give Disaster Area a 5-star review on any podcast platform that allows reviews. Especially Apple (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/disaster-area/id1071491908). Giving a podcaster a 5-star review on Apple increases their podcast's visibility to new potential listeners.
Update (September 9, 2023): If you're interested in the alleged paranormal and haunting aspects of the Hammond Circus Train Wreck, Ghostly Podcast did a show about that on September 6th:
