The
City of Fountain
is a Home Rule Municipality located in El Paso County, Colorado, United
States. Fountain is located just ten miles (16 km) south of Colorado
Springs and just east of Fort Carson. Fountain and the Colorado Springs
suburbs Security and Widefield make up the "Fountain Valley"
community.According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of
the city is 19,081. In 1999, Fountain was chosen as "America's
Millennium City" by the New York Times based on the city's proximity to
national census statistics and qualitative research on what American
life was actually like at the turn of the last century.Fountain was
named an "All-America City" in 2002 by the National Civic League. The
city is the home of Pikes Peak International Raceway (closed in 2005).
A
tremendous train wreck, "The Blast" as it is now known, occurred in
Fountain during the spring of 1888. Just after three in the morning on
May 14, 1888 a freight train carrying eighteen tons of explosives and a
passenger train collided in the city. The accident killed three people:
Charles F. Smith, a Fountain lumber dealer originally from Keokuk,
Iowa, Henry Hutchins, a Fountain merchant and Mrs. Sarah Widrig a local
hat maker from Fountain. (There are conflicting reports of who else
died as a result of injuries from the crash.)
The
"blast" from the collision created a very loud explosion that could be
heard from miles away. The crash destroyed a nearby church, a grocery
store and created a large crater in the ground forty feet in diameter
and fifteen feet deep.
The
cause of the wreck was attributed to a pair of unruly vagrants who were
kicked-off of the freight train north of Fountain in Colorado Springs.
After an investigation by The Rocky Mountain News, it was later
reported that one of the two vagrants murdered a third man, Frank
Shipman, on the freight train. Shipman, who had only one leg, was
returning from visiting his brother in Pueblo, Colorado. The
unidentified vagrants and Shipman had been arguing and Shipman was
struck hard in the head killing him. The men attempted to somehow
dispose of Shipman's dead body and cover-up the crime by disconnecting
the train car Shipman's body was in sending it down the railroad
tracks. The train car Shipman's body was in, three other train cars
carrying the explosive naphtha and the caboose of the freight train
were disconnected by the men and sent southbound towards Fountain.
Meanwhile, a passenger train was traveling northbound on the same
tracks. The collision followed. Thirty riders on board the northbound
passenger train were able to escape the locomotive before the collision
thanks to a frantic warning from the conductor. Twenty-eight people
were injured. The vagrants suspected at the root of Shipman's murder
and the train wreck were never found and no one was ever charged with a
crime.
It is widely believed by local residents that the subsequent damage from the accident cost Fountain the city's bid for Colorado's state capital, which eventually went to Denver. The state capital committee visiting candidate Colorado cities could not travel to Fountain within a comfortable time frame because of the wreck. Today, "The Blast" remains the pivotal event in the city's history. "The Blast" is commemorated with an annual street dance held at Fountain's City Hall Plaza every July.
