A troop train carrying much of the 94th New York Volunteer Infantry, including their band, hit a broken rail on the Hudson River Railroad near Tivoli, New York. Five cars were pitched into the river and the entire train derailed. Five soldiers, a recruit and four enlisted men from Company G, were killed and around a dozen others injured. The band lost all its instruments. The regiment reached New York the next day and then went on to service in Virginia. (By John Osborne)
