South Boardman seems to be cursed. I'm glad I moved away. The town has been completely (in the late 1800s mind you) burned to the ground in wildfires twice! This isn't the first train wreck at this site either, here's one from 1908 (The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway went brankrupt later that year, this wreck cost them a lot of money):
