On the anniversary of this train wreck we visited several sites associated with it. The cemetery with the mass grave obelisk is at the end of Grove Drive, a small residential street and easy to miss. We did not see any signs for the cemetery itself. Once inside the cemetery there are signs pointing the way to the obelisk.
