The Deaths at Duffy’s Cut: Cholera or Cover-up?

In Pennsylvania’s Chester County, locals have long known that something terrible happened along the old Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad tracks where Philadelphia’s Main Line passes Malvern. According to historical records, 57 Irish immigrant workers died there in an 1832 cholera epidemic while working to clear a stretch of the line known as Duffy’s Cut. Neighbors have claimed to have seen the men’s ghosts dancing on their own mass grave.
