Raymond Lewis Payne, a Manhattan clerk, commuted to work from 1212 Avenue H. The 18-year-old had registered for the draft a month before he was killed in the worst subway accident in New York’s history- the Malbone Street wreck.
At 6:42 p.m., 28 minutes after it left Park Row, the train carrying 650 passengers slammed into a concrete abutment as it rounded a sharp curve approaching the Malbone Street station in Flatbush. Nearly 100 riders died and another 250 were injured in what remains New York City’s worst subway accident and arguably the worst train crash in American history.
