The Heatwave Of April 10, 1930

On this date in 1930, a large swath of the country from Texas to Wisconsin was over 90 degrees, including 96 degrees at Clarinda, Iowa. Chicago was 90 degrees.

I was looking at newspaper articles about the heatwave, and ran into this horrific story about a train/bus wreck near Albuquerque.

I never heard about that wreck before, but it reminded me of another New Mexico bus wreck which occurred while I was in high school.
