The Red Arrow was a night train operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad that ran from New York City to Detroit.

It was named after Michigan’s Red Arrow infantry division of World War I.

[4] On February 18, 1947, the eastbound Red Arrow was derailed at Bennington Curve near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, killing 22 of the 200 people on board at the time.

The cause of the accident was determined to be excessive speed around the curve, derailing the two K4s steam locomotives and many of the passenger cars.

[5] Between April 29, 1956 and July 26, 1959 the route was shrunk in steps, eventually to a local train between Detroit and Toledo.
