A new book set to be released this weekend takes a deep dive into the Ottawa Valley’s worst disaster.
Author Jamie Bramburger tells us that inspiration for “Sudden Impact,” which looks into the 1942 Almonte train wreck that left 38 people dead and over 150 injured, came while chasing a different story.
Bramburger says four years of research saw him meet with families from across Canada who have continued to carry the story generations.
He has invited some of those families to the book’s launch, Sunday at 11:30am inside Pembroke’s Ottawa Valley Heritage Centre.
