The Horseshoe Hill train crash in Caledon, Ont. killed seven people on September 3, 1907. It affected countless families across Ontario but it also brought some good. A group of women used the tragedy to bring Orangeville its first hospital.

In this episode of Living History, we’ll visit the site of the wreck, see the old railway roadbed, explore the health care legacy as it stands today in Orangeville, and hear how this deadly railway would claim more lives until the day it was ripped up.
