We received this query today in Ontario County.  Can anyone help Ms. Moosbrugger find details of the 1891 train wreck?

Dear Sirs or Mam's:

I have been working on a historical biography for the last 7 years that will
contain correspondence from the late 1800's and early 1900's.   One of these
is a fascinating letter written by a survivor of a terrible train wreck.  
The train came from Boston and was going to Chicago and the wreck occurred 5
&1/2 half hours west of Rotterdam Junction, NY at about 2:40 AM, on (or
about) Aug 6, 1891.   I have been trying to find a historical society, a
newspaper, (or people who could direct me to where to look,) for a historical
account of the details of this train wreck.  

If you can help me I would be most grateful.
