Alfred Lincoln Streeter had a successful head-on locomotive collision for show at Buckeye Park, near Lancaster, Ohio, on May 30, 1896. The story had national press coverage, and launched Streeter into the business of crashing locomotives for show. Towns and cities from the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains wanted to host locomotive collisions. Streeter also gained a competitor, Joseph S. Connolly, from Des Moines, Iowa. Connolly would go on to become the biggest name associated with made to order locomotive collisions, staging 73 train wrecks between 1896 and 1932.
