---- |
A fearful catastrophe occurred on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, usually known as the State Road, on Thursday night, Sept. 23. The up train had been detained by some defect in the engine, and this threw her behind her time, but proceeding on after night, which was quite dark from its being very thick, cloudy, and raining, till near one of the Chickamauga bridges, the engine was thrown from the track by a large ox which was lying down on the road. The engine entered the bridge off the track, and tore it up, so as to let the engine, tender, and baggage-car fall through. The wood-passer and fireman were killed. The latter had one leg torn from his body to the hip joint, and we have not heard that his leg has yet been found -- he died directly. |

A fearful accident occurred about four o'clock in the afternoon, to the regular morning train on the Mississippi Central Railroad for New Orleans. The train leaving Humboldt behind time, rapidly approached Buck___ tressle[sic], which is forty feet high, and over a ravine. The engine passed safely, but the remainder of the train ran off the track, crushing the tressle[sic], and completely wrecking the baggage mail express and three passenger cars. The cause of the accident is believed to have been the unsound condition of the tressle[sic] timbers, which permitted the rail to slip out of place, and __________ off the cars which crushed through the tressle[sic] or plunged into the ditch. Every car was utterly destroyed. The baggage mail and express freight broke loose and landed on the sides of the ravine into which the wreck plunged. The first and second passenger cars were shattered into pieces. The remaining passenger car kept its place on the track, while the front end rested on the wreck of the second car in the ravine, at inclination of 50 degrees. Two women and two children, twelve white and three colored persons are known to have been killed, and it is feared some others. 13 Tote, 14 - 15 Verletzte. |

---- |
The most fearful accident that has occurred on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad since the war took place to-day. The Southern bound express left Greeneville, seventy-four miles east of Knoxville, an hour and sixteen minutes behind time. It reached the top of a heavy grade three miles west of that place at twenty minutes past nine, and as the heavy train, composed of locomotive, tender, two baggage cars, one express smoking car, three passenger coaches and one sleeper, came sweeping around a sharp curve,
running down grade at from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, the trucks of the mail car jumped the track. Down brakes was sounded, but such was the momentum of the train that it could not be checked up until the trucks that had jumped the track struck the timbers of a high trestle 185 yards from the point they left the track. The trestle gave way at once, and the front of the smoking car was upset and went down a bank. The second coach fell through the trestle and was telescoped by the one following. The locomotive and baggage and express cars passed the trestle in safety, and the last passenger coach and sleeper remained on the track. |

A Coroner's inquest was held to-day on the dead bodies of the victims of the wreck of SELLS Brothers' circus train on Sunday, near Paint Lick, and the following additional particulars were developed:
The train, which consisted of 21 cars, was coming down a grade of 72 feet to the mile from Morgan's Summit, and there being only four brakes it became unmanageable and went at a terrific rate of speed, which either caused the track to spread or the draw-head was pulled out and fell on the track, throwing the third car from the engine over the embankment, the other cars following. It was shown, however, that several brakes had been removed by SELLS, in order to facilitate the loading of wagons upon the cars. The cars were the property of the railroad company. The following is the verdict of the Coroner's jury: "We find that BEN CASE, JACK CARTER, and WILLIS UNDERWOOD came to their death by thw wrecking of a train, caused by an unusual rate of speed."
Three men were instantly killed and 14 wounded, two of them, if not three, being fatally injured. |

The following particulars were received here to-day of a frightful accident on the narrow gauge known at the Little J., which runs from Natchez to Jackson:
The mail and passenger express which left Jackson at 6:30 A.M. went through the bridge over the Pierre Bayou, which is 38 miles east of Natchez. The bridge gave way as the passenger train was on it, and the engine dropped to the bottom of the bayou, a distance of 60 feet. The mail, express, and smoking car were piled up on top of it. The ladies' coach was left on the edge of the bridge, partly off.
Three persons were killed instantly and a large number injured. The engineer, MR. POWELL, of Water Valley; the fireman, JOHN McCLUTCHY, of Natchez, and a brakeman, MR. ROBERT PERRY, of Learned, were killed. J. W. LANE, express messanger, was seriously injured. The mail agent, a colored man named OWEN ANDERSON, was seriously injured. R. W. CAMPBELL, of Fayette, received a severe and dangerous contusion above the eye. R. H. TRULY was painfully, but not seriously, bruised on the head and breast. JAMES MENG, newsboy, had his left arm broken. W. F. BARCLAY, of Learned, is seriously injured on the head and breast. E. F. COCHRAN and MR. DAUGHERTY, of Natchez; HENRY KENCKER, of Cincinnati, and a few others were slightly hurt.
There was no visible cause for the accident, the bridge having been rebuilt only a few months since. The locality, however, seems to be a dangerous and unfortunate one, this being the fourth accident that has happened within the past three years at that point. It is surmised that the bridge may have been tampered with, but his is doubtful. Mail trains will not be delayed, but will transfer at the scene of the wreck for the present. |

A fearful accident occurred on the South and North Alabama Division of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at the bridge over Flint River, near Wilhites Station, Morgan County, to-day. Two sections of a north-bound freight train telescoped. Part of the first section broke loose and remained on the bridge and was run into by the second section. The shock caused the collapse of the bridge, 100 feet of which was undergoing repairs. Five cars of the first section and the whole of the second, consisting of an engine and 17 cars, went down with the bridge. The wreck caught fire and 18 cars were burned. JOHN JOHNSON, fireman of the second section, fell under his engine and was drowned. HENRY BOTELER, brakeman, was caught under a car and burned to death. Engineer W. D. JOHNSON, brother of the dead fireman, was fatally burned. Conductor GEORGE YOUNG and a negro brakeman named THOMAS McCREARY were seriously burned. The freight consisted mostly of pig iron, which will be saved. Conductor L. O. HARRIS, of the first section, swam across the almost frozen river to flag the north-bound passenger train, which was to come along in a few minutes. |

One of the most horrible accidents that ever happened in Opelika presented itself today. Quite a crowd was at the depot this afternoon anticipating going off on the Montgomery train. As the train blows always before arriving in town, the crowd generally leaves the platform and stands near the track. This evening a large crowd of ladies were near the track. The Columbus train was late, so no thought was given to its coming. Just as the Montgomery train came to a stop, the Columbus train came backing in. The crown [sic] become [sic] confused, as a good many were crying out, "Look out for the trains" In this confusion two persons were run over One was Miss A Melton, a co-principal of the female college at Auburn. She was caught near the wheels of the second coach, and dragged about twenty yards, and there lodged. She could not be taken out until the car was lifted off its wheels. She then was found to be fatally injured, and little hopes of her recovery is anticipated. The other was little Miss Erin Dick, one of her students, who has been on a visit to her uncle with Miss Melton. Miss Dick is seriously hurt, but not fatally. Mr. J F Adams, one of out best citizens, was knocked down by the same train, but by quick action of mind crawled out just in time to save himself. |

Friday night an unfortunate accident happened to Mr. P.Q. Camp, who has charge of a squad of hands at work on the Columbus and Western extension. The accident occurred between Childerburg [sic] and Sylacauga. The gentleman was returning to his camp on a hand car, which collided with a pole car. Both of Mr. Camp's legs were broken below the knees. No one else was hurt.
Several days ago the ENQUIRER-SUN contained a notice of an accident which occurred on the Columbus and Western extension, in which both of Mr. P.Q. Camp's legs were broken. Mr. Camp, we regret to learn, died from the effects of his injuries yesterday morning.
The deceased was a middle-aged man, and stood well in the community in which he lived. He had charge of a force of hands at work in the extension near Sylacauga when the unfortunate accident occurred. |

The railroad wreck, which occurred two miles south of here on Sunday night had been duplicated one mile north tonight. As the passenger train No. 1, on the Illinois Central railroad, in charge of Conductor Kirby, was coming south at 7:06, it ran into an open switch at the mills of the Brookhaven Lumber and Manufacturing company, resulting in a disastrous wreck and conflagration. The switch connecting with the main track and the stub switch used by the lumber company had both been intentionally misplaced. At the time the train reached the switch it was running at the speed of thirty miles an hour. It plunged into the death trap. The engine ploughed its way into the immense lumber sheds, and in less than three minutes fire from the engineâ??s furnace had spread to the lumber and buildings, and started a terrible conflagration. Engineer Samuel Berry stayed on his engine until it stopped. He received several cuts about the face and head, and was badly hurt in the leg, but was not dangerously injured.
A colored fireman, RANDALL CALDWELL, was pulled out from the tender, scalded and crushed so badly that he died in a few minutes. Mail agent Noel and Baggagemaster Farrell received slight bruises. No one else was hurt. The mail, baggage, express and smoking cars were all thrown from the track, but the train crews, passengers and citizens removed the contents, but the fire had got well under way. The engine of the wrecking train then pulled all the balance of the train out of reach of the flames. The tender and mail and baggage cars were burned. The magnificent plant of the Brookhaven Lumber and Manufaturing company, together with thousands of feet of the finest lumber, were soon consumed. The loss of the company will reach high in the thousands, with only partial insurance. |
| Bledsoe (Sumner, Tenn.) |

Quite a serious accident occurred on the Chesapeake & Nashville Railroad at Bledsoe. The morning train due at Gallatin at ten o'clock was skimming along for its destination, when the baggage car, freight and postal cars jumped the track and fell down an embankment, about fifty feet. Henry Peacock, postal clerk, and Conductor E. B. Buck jumped and escaped without injury. Peacock Jumped, and managed to crawl back toward the track when the coach with fourteen passengers passed over him without touching him.
The car turned over three times before landing at the bottom. The passenger coach contained about fourteen passengers, and all were hurt more or less.
When the bottom was reached the roof of the car was torn off, and women, children and seats were piled in one common mass. No one was killed outright, but it is feared two or three are so badly injured they will die. Several of the wounded were brought to Gallatin last evening, and medical aid summoned. None of the employes at the road were hurt. The accident was caused from carelessness on the part of the road. |

The killed and injured were employed by C. S. Bush, transfer man, and were engaged in loading a boiler on flat cars. The eight cars did considerable damage to Linck's waiting room, which was filled with women and children waiting for the train. Fortunately not a person in the building was hurt, notwithstanding the floor of the room was covered with brick and plaster. The cannon ball train was not badly damaged. |

Five lives lost, two engines wrecked, and freight ruined.
The most disastrous railroad wreck the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Road has known for years occurred at a long siding some miles east of Chattanooga, Tenn.
The engineer of a fast freight who had been ordered to take incoming freight at that point had misunderstood his orders, and, coming on at a high rate of speed, with terrific force the two engines came together. The shock shattered twenty-five or thirty cars and piled them in a huge mass on the track. Nearly every car on the two trains was derailed, both engines are a total loss, and much of the freight is ruined. The losses to property will not fall far short of $100,000. |
| Maysville (Kentucky) |

At Bull Creek, six miles above Maysville, two dark clouds met and burst. The creek jumped over its banks and swept like drift several dwelling houses and their frightened occupants. The stone culvert on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad over Mill creek was washed out into the river, and about midnight, while the storm was at its height, the west bound freight train ran into a washout, causing a fearful wreck. Three railroad men dead.
The engine and nine cars were piled on upon top of another, almost out of sight on the creek bottom.
The nineteen cars down in the washout were deashed into kindling wood. The train was the first sectiosn of freight No. 38, drawn by engine No. 154, which is one of the largest as well as finest engines on the road. The engine is now out of sight in quicksand. The train was running over thirty miles per hour. A little later an east bound mixed passenger train would have passed over the fatal culvert, when the loss of life would have been appalling. |
| Calera (Alabama) |
23.06.1890 |
---- |
One person was killed and several badly injured on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road at Calera yesterday by an accident which happened in a very peculiar manner. The engine of a passenger train had been detached from the cars and started for a coal chute, three quarters of a mile away leaving the cars standing on the track. The engine had gone but a short distance when the engineer saw a freight train coming down the track toward him. The engineer seeing that a collision was inevitable reversed his engine and shut off steam. He then jumped from his engine closely followed by his fireman. The freight engine struck the passenger engine with full force. The collision opened the throttle of the passenger engine, which, without any occupant, started back toward the train. It was going forty miles an hour when it struck the passenger train. An express car and a passenger coach were completely wrecked. A negro nurse employed by O. M. REYNOLDS was instantly killed and the infant child of MRS. REYNOLDS severely injured. MRS. ABNER PITHER, wife of the conductor of the train, was badly hurt and several other passengers more or less bruised. |

A passenger train on the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham railroad, which left here last night, west-bound, went out, leaving the sleeper and conductor at the station. Discovering the fact when about six miles out of town, the engineer began backing into Birmingham. At Thomas Furnace, three miles out, the backing train met an out going freight and there was a terrible collision. Four or five passengers whose names could not be obtained were killed and sixteen others injured. One of the injured, J. O. FRANKLIN, a drummer from Nashville, will die. |

A wreck which occurred the same night at Elihu Station, two miles below Somerset, Ky. A mixed train was stopping to leave a car, and had not yet got into motion, when a freight came up in the rear and struck the rear car, causing a serious wreck. Young MR. PAYNE, a commercial traveler for the firm of Pierson & Clarke, Lexington, Ky., had both legs crushed, and has since died. |
| Sloans Valley (USA) |
31.10.1890 |
---- |
A disastrous collision occurred early in a recent morning on the Cincinnati Southern Railway, is a tunnel a quarter of a mile north of Sloans Valley Station, Kentucky. Seven men were killed and a number of others were more or less seriously hurt.
The trains involved were freight No. 22, north bound, and passenger No. 5 south bound, which leaves Cincinnati at eight P. M. Another passenger train leaves Cincinnati an hour earlier. Both these were held at Somerset, Ky., two hours or more on account of a freight wreck, which occurred south of that place. When the track was clear the foremost Cincinnati train started out from Somerset first and met an passed safely the north bound train. Then at a safe distance behind it the fated No. 5 started out.
Freight train No. 22 was side-tracked at Sloans Valley. When the first Cincinnati train passed south the crew of the freight appear to have overlooked the fact that No. 5 was to follow, and they pulled out and started northward.
Less than a quarter of a mile away they entered a tunnel which is one-sixth of a mile long. In the most hopeless place that trainmen ever meet death the engines of the two trains dashed into each other, and the cars, following, jammed into each other in a mass. Then came the added horror of conflagration.
The burning of the trains in the tunnel rendered it impossible to clear the track as readily as it could be done on open ground, the smoke and heat preventing men from entering. |

Train goes through a burning trestle. The most disastrous wreck ever known on the Columbus and Western railroad, between this city and Birmingham, occurred at 6:20 o'clock in the morning, at Hatcher's creek, ninety miles from Columbus and seventy miles from Birmingham. Three persons burnt alive, two wounded.
The bridge took fire at the west end, and burned five 20-foot spans, and into this gap the train fell.
In the afternoon the fire was still burning fifty feet high, from the huge pile of coal, although one hundred man had been at work all day, trying to extinguish the flames. The trees for one hundred feet around were badly schorched[sic], and he woods for miles were burning.
The freight cars and caboose had burned completely up, and all that could be seen was a huge pile of trash, iron rods, track, etc., many of which had melted, and some of which were badly bent and twisted. |

A frightful wreck on the Central mainstream near Summerfield. Passenger train No. 2 from Atlanta, due in Macon at 10:45 a.m. had been thrown from the track by a broken rail a mile and a half west of Summerfield.
The first reports of the wreck had it that a large number were very seriously injured and the whole affair of an appalling nature. Nothing reliable could be ascertained until the arrival of the special train sent out from Macon to bring in the passengers of the wrecked train.
The engine seems to have passed over the broken rail with no trouble and had carried all but two coaches over with it. Then the rail turned and one of the coaches fell on its side and with it four others. The cars broke loose from the engine and in this way a more serious accident was averted. The five cars rolled down a four-foot embankment and rested on their sides. Each car was jammed with people, and it was tearful to see them thrown pell mell over each other to be crushed or suffocated. To make matters worse, car seats came lose and fell on the passengers, causing many bruises and cuts.
Those passengers who arrived on the wrecked train criticised[sic] very freely the action of the train officers in continuing ahead after receiving notifications of the broken rail. The place broken was about three feet in length. |

As the train over the Kentucky and Indiana bridge, last night at 12:17 o'clock, was backing over the trestle, which is thirty-five feet high, into the round house to put up for the night, one of the coaches jumped the track and fell to the ground. Fortunately there were no passengers aboard.
Conductor FRANK MAHAN was instantly killed by being caught beneath the fallen coach. Brakeman WILLIAM PATTON jumped off the trestle and sustained only a severe fracture of the ankle.
MAHAN was forty years old and married. He lived at 2807 Montgomery street, this city, where his body was removed.
The exact cause of the accident is not known. No blame is attached to the train crew. |

Passenger train No. 1, for New-Orleans, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was wrecked by being derailed two miles below Greenville, Ala., and forty-seven miles south of Montgomery, at 9:30 this morning. One man was killed, eight were hurt. The train was going about fifty miles an hour when the rails spread, and the tender of the engine jumped the track. The combination mail, baggage and express car, smoking car and two passenger cars were thrown over a fifteen foot perpendicular embankement into a swamp. The first Pullman sleeper left the rails, while the other sleepers and a private car of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, with officials on board, remained on the track. |

A collision occurred on the Louisville and Nashville railroad near Forest, fifty miles south of Montgomery (Ala.), about 5 o'clock this morning, in which Engineer HARVEY ADAMS was killed and his colored fireman, BOWDEN, was fatally injured, it is believed.
No. 2 passenger north bound was met on the track by two flat cars loaded with logs and a heavy piece of timber was plunged with such force into the front of the engine that it passed almost entirely through the boiler, bursting it, of course, and scalding the engineer and fireman.
The engine was demolished and the baggage car was badly damaged, but the passengers escaped without injury, the coaches not even leaving the track.
General Passenger Agent ATMORE was in a sleeper and was not even awakened. Engineer ADAMS and his fireman lived in Mobile and both had families. The track has already been cleared. |

Fiends in human form wrecked the Birmingham Mineral branch passenger train No. 40 at Cahaba river bridge twenty-seven miles from Birmingham (Ala.), at 7:50 this morning and twenty lives were lost. That number of bodies have been recovered from the wreck and further search may swell the list of the dead. The wreck, it is regarded as almost certain, was accomplished by the removal of a rail in the middle span of the trestle. This derailed the train, which caused it to fall down the two spans and precipitated it into the river 110 feet below. |

One section of the train crashes into the rear of annother in Mississippi. Four persons died, fifteen persons injured.. Section 1 of the Torrey train pulled in Tupelo about 3 p. m. this afternoon. While watering at the station section 2 come in behind running at least twenty miles an hour. The chief fatalities occurred in a coach which stood in the center of the first section, which carried Troop C, from Laramie, Wyoming. This coach was completely telescoped and the soldiers within were jammed and bruised beneath masses of timbers, broken car seats and other debris. In the second section a baggage car was crushed out and fell at right angles to the track. In this car SERGEANT HODGE of troop G had his ankle broken.
The engine and about five cars were completely wrecked.
Where the blame attaches it is impossible to say, but somebody blundered and a searching inquiry will be made. Colonel TORREY is, as he says himself, on his back, but still in command. A surgeon and a hospital steward will be left in charge of the wounded with a detail of troopers.
Engineer RAWLS of the second section was seen to-night but was unable to talk. He received internal injuries that have caused several hemorrhages.
Not a horse was injured, although several of the stock cars were badly wrecked. |

A disasterous collision occurred about 4 o'clock this morning at Vaughn's Station eleven miles north of Canton. The engineer, CASEY JONES, was instantly killed, and Express Messenger MILLER was hurt internally, but not seriously.
The south-bound passenger train No. 1 was running under a full head of steam when it crashed into the rear end of a caboose and three freight cars which were standing on the main track, the other portion of the train being on a sidetrack. The caboose and two of the cars were smashed to pieces, the engine left the rails and plowed into an embankment, where it overturned and was completely wrecked, the baggage and mail coaches also being thrown from the track and badly damaged. The engineer was killed outright by the concussion. His body was found lying under the cab, with his skull crushed and the right arm torn from its socket. The fireman jumped just in time to save his life. The express messenger was thrown against the side of the car, having two of his ribs broken by the blow, but his condition is not considered dangerous. The train was what is known as the New Orleans fast mail, it was running on time and was in charge of Conducter TURNER of Memphis. The indirect cause of the wreck seemed to be a lack of switching facilities at Vaughn's. Four long freight trains had gotten there and the siding was not sufficient to accomodate them. Traffic on the road has been unusually heavy since the recent floods and the delay in freight transportation has caused much inconvenience. |

Twenty-nine persons were injured to-day in the derailment of a trolley car en route from Dayton, Ky., to Cincinnati. It is feared that several of the injured will die, although the physicians who were summoned have not been able to classify the injured. Miss Emma Hampton was the only one of the thirty passengers aboard the car who escaped uninjured. She was prostrated from shock when taken from the wreck.
An obstruction of some unknown nature derailed the car as it rounded a curve along the bank of a small stream on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. The car plunged across the sidewalk, carrying away a railing, and rolled over the embankment to the bed of the stream, fifty feet below. A majority of the injured were severely cut and bruised.
Motorman Yates held the controller until the car struck the bottom of the incline, in a vain effort to check its fall. He received injuries which it is believed will result fatally. |

Tragic death at Clay City of Alexander Aines, a deaf mute laborer, aged 45 years, who was struck by train No. 3 of the L. & E. a little West of Roslin, a station seven miles East of Clay City.
Aines was tramping along the track from Clay City about 4:30 o'clock when first seen by engineer J. H. Combs, whose train was speeding towards Clay City. The whistle was used vigorously and Aines stepped from off the track. The man seems, however, not to have seen the train and started to cross the track again. Engineer Combs, now very near him, put on air brakes with such force that the train slid along the track. He was too late, the cowcatcher striking Aines and tossing him off the track.
When picked up by the engineer and Conductor Sam Martin, life was almost extinct in Aines, he having been struck on the left side, crushing it. He was placed on the train and taken to Clay City, where Dr. Irvin attended. He was placed in a wagon and started to the home of his sister, Mrs. Frazier, at Pompey Branch, a short distance of Clay City. While on the way there he breathed his last, never having recovered consciousness. |

The identity of the white man who was killed in the wreck on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad yesterday has not been learned as yet. A man giving his name as Turner stated in the morgue this morning that the deceased was George Higgins, who lived near the jail in Montgomery. A picture of a man and woman found in the dead man's pockets, according to Turner was that of Higgins and a woman named Ida Jones, also of Montgomery. This story is not believed. The dead man was well dressed and the fact that he should be riding truss rods is causing no little mystery. Coroner Paris is investigating the matter in the hope of locating the identity of the dead man.
Inquiry developed the fact that George Higgins is not known here. His name does not appear in the city directory and the people in the neighborhood of the jail here never heard of him. |

A collision occurred at Armela, a station four miles from Blocton, this morning on the Three B. Road. A Southern double-header was bound North and as it neared the station the air became uncontrollable. The engine ran into the caboose of another freight train and tore up both engines. The caboose was mashed into splinters and ten cars were derailed. Engineer Foster of one of the double header engines was seriously bruised. A wrecking train which started to the assistance of the trains was wrecked at Boothtown. The engine was derailed, but nobody was hurt. |

A policeman during the day identified him as a Pensacola fisherman known as "Jack" who would preach about the wharves in Pensacola. The same policeman found the man under the influence of liquor after midnight and was about to arrest him when a friend of the old man, whom the policeman knew, interceded and the old man started for his lodging house in the vicinity of where his mangled remains were found. |

While rounding a curve on a high embankment near Berry, Ala., at 9:30 o'clock this morning the engine and four cars of an excursion train on the Southern railway leaped from the track and rolled over and over, smashing the coaches into kindling wood and causing the instant death of thirty persons and the injury of eighty-one others. Physicians say, at least, twenty-nine of the injured cannot live.
With the exception of H. M. DUDLEY, trainmaster of the Southern railway, living at Birmingham: J. W. CROOK, engineer, and ROSCOE SHELBY, of Columbus, Miss., and MRS. MARIE COX, all the dead and injured are negroes who had taken advantage of excursion rates from points in Mississippi to Birmingham.
When the wreck occurred the train was running at a rate of 30 miles an hour and just started around a curve on top of a 60-foot embankment. Without warning the tender of the engine suddenly left the track, jerking the engine and the first four cars with it. There were ten cars to the excursion train, but the fourth broke loose from the fifth and with the heavy engine plunged down the steep incline. The cars, which were packed with passengers, turned completely over several times and were crushed like eggshells, killing and crippling the inmates. Persons who have returned from the scene of the wreck say it is indescribable. The dead bodies of the negroes were scattered in every direction and the moans and appeals for help from the wounded were heartrending. |

Southbound passenger train No. 1 on the Louisville & Nashville, which left Cincinnati at 6 o?clock last night, collided early today near Horse Cave, Ky., with northbound passenger train No. 2, which left Nashville about 8:30. Thirty-three passengers and four trainmen were injured, but none, it is thought, will die. The condition of Engineer Rehm on No. 1 is serious. According to information received here Rehm either disregarded orders or was asleep as his train was going 40 miles an hour when it struck the northbound passenger train. None of the coaches left the track. |

24.09.1904 |
---- |
Running on a road bed in a supposedly high condition of maintenance and having about them every safeguard known to modern railroading, two trains of the Southern railway, carrying heavy lists of passengers, came together in a frightful head-end collision near Hodges, Tenn., today, killing fifty-four persons and injuring one hundred and twenty, several of whom will probably die.
This appalling loss of life and maiming of the living resulted apparently from disregarding orders given the two trains to meet at a station which has long been their regular meeting point. The claim of failure to see the station or signals cannot be set up by the engineer of the westbound train were he alive to enter a plea of defense, as the accident happened in broad daylight and, according to the best information obtainable, he had the order in a little frame in front of him as his engine rushed by New Market station and soon after came full upon the eastbound passenger train making for New Market, in compliance with instructions to meet the westbound train.
The possibility exists that the ill-fated engineer may have been asleep or that death had suddenly taken the sight from his eyes before Hodges was reached. But nothing is known save that the orders were not obeyed.
The trains were on time and not making over thirty-five miles an hour, yet the impact as they rounded a curve and came suddenly upon each other was frightful. Both engines and the major portions of both trains were demolished and why the orders were disregarded or misinterpreted probably never will be known, as the engineers of both trains were crushed, their bodies remaining for hours under the wreckage of their locomotives. |

Passenger train No 4, northbound, which left Mobile over the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad at 6:47 in the afternoon, ran into a washout four miles south of Beaumont, Miss, and the engine, baggage and passenger coaches were overturned. General Passenger and Freight Agent L.B. Sullivan, who was riding on the engine, was instantly killed. Engineer W. A. Craswford and Fireman J. Young (colored), both of Mobile were seriously scalded. R. G. Boykin, porter, of Mobile, was seriously injured and may die.
Mr. Sullivan was on an inspecting trip over the road and this was the reason he was riding on the engine. He was formerly with the Cincinnati and Mobile in the capacity of cheif clerk in the office of the general freight agent.
Four years ago he went with the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City. He was 33 years old and leaves his mother and a sister in Trenton, Tenn.
The wreck was occasioned by heavy rains that fell yesterday afternoon and last night in that vicinity. The train was going thirty miles an hour. |

Northbound passenger train No. 26 known as the Nashville and Chicago Limited, over the Illinois railroad, was derailed one mile north of Chapmansboro, twenty-three miles from Nashville, last night, and three trainmen and six passengers injured.
Injured:
James McGonigal, Nashville.
Miss Emma Nelson, Clarksville, Tenn..
E. A. McAllister, Boston.
Tom Byers, Clarksville, Tenn.
Mrs. Byers, Clarksville, Tenn.
Miss Ophelia Bledsoe, Clarksville, Tenn.
E. E. Canfield, Nashville, Tenn.
Fireman C. J. McGee, Nashville, Tenn.
Engineer S. A. Cherry, Nashville, Tenn., and the conductor.
The train is a fast train between Chicago and Nashville, and at the time of the wreck was running on a freight track at the rate of thirty-eight miles an hour. The engine, baggage car, smoker and first-class coach left the track and rolled down an embankment. The sleeper stayed on the track. The wreck is thought to have been caused by some obstruction on the track. |

At least 17 persons, all but two of them soldiers, were killed last night when a troop train plunged into a 50-foot gorge of the Clear River 11 miles South of Jellico.
DR. E. P. MUNCY, resident physician of Knoxville's General Hospital, said the death toll probably would exceed 40.
The locomotive and four cars were piled at the ravine's bottom, and a fifth hung over the precipitous edge, where it left the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks.
JOHN RUGGLES, in charge of the Knoxville office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said that possibilities of sabotage in connection with the wreck were being investigated.
Work of extricating the victims from the locomotive and five cars which tumbled down the steep 50-foot bank to the shallow stream was slow and unofficial estimate placed the casualties as high as 25 dead and 250 hurt.
The train was a special carrying only soldiers and the train crew. |

Twelve deaths, the injuring of scores of other persons and $500,000 damage to property were caused here Friday when a carload of dynamite standing on a track near the Southern railroad station exploded with a report that was heard twenty miles. Buildings were shattered in the business section of the town and nearly every piece of glass within a radius of one mile of the place was broken.
One body remains unidentified. There is a possibility that other bodies may be recovered from the ruins.
Eighteen persons were seriously injured, among them being R.D. BAIRD, president of the national bank of Jellico and mayor of Jellico, who was cut on the neck.
The freight car, belonging to the Pennsylvania railroad lines, contained 450 boxes, or 20,000 pounds, of high explosives, consigned to the Rand Power Company, at Clearfield, Tennessee.
Two causes are assigned for the explosion. One is that three men were shooting at a mark on the car and that a bullet entered the car, causing the explosion.
The other is that while the car was standing on a side track a carload of pig iron was switched against it and that the impact caused the explosion. |

At Suggsville, about eighty miles south of Selma (oder Montgomery) on the Mobile division of the Southern Railway, at 4 o'clock this morning a rear-end collision which may result in the death of two popular railroad men of this city occurred.
The collision was between a southbound freight train, which ran into and smashed up the caboose of the work train which was in the siding at Suggsville.
The injured are Conductor John Cobb, Engineer Lawrence Moore and Flagman Ed Vasser of the work train. At the time of the collision the three injured men were asleep in the caboose of the work train.
The cause of the collision is said to have an open switch. The work train put in on the siding at Suggsville for the night. Early this morning the freight train came in to the station at a fair speed and took the siding and crashed into the caboose before it could be stopped. The engine of the freight train and the caboose of the work train were badly mashed up. Several of the cars composing the freight train were turned over. |

Three men were killed outright, two so seriously injured that they will die and three others badly injured in addition to the crashing of a freight engine and 11 cars through a bridge into Chattanooga creek; the destruction of three residences and a pile driver nearby, as a result of a premature explosion of a blast about 4 o'clock this afternoon at the foot of Lookout mountain on the Stevenson extension.
The bridge was crushed by several tons of rock hurled by the blast just as the freight train was going on the bridge. Other pieces of rock hurled for 400 yards crashed through the pilot of the pile driver of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad, which was at work driving piles in Chattanooga creek for a new viaduct, killing Engineer SHAFER and Fireman HYDER instantly. The third man killed was a negro fireman on the Southern railway. Other pieces of rock hurled 500 and 600 yards struck residences on the side of Lookout mountain, crashing through the roofs and floors of the buildings.
The blast was set off, it is said, by J. Foard, a powder man, employed by the contractors. |

One man was killed and eight injured when Frisco passenger train No 203 was run into by a Louisville and Nashville freight train at Pratt City, six miles west of Birmingham (Ala.), this morning.
Both trains were running slowly. Engineer Donohue of the freight train says he saw the passenger in time but could not stop because all the cars were not equipped with air brakes.
The Pullman car, Leeds, third from the end was struck squarely and thrown on its side. Every passenger was injured. Pullman Conductor J. C. SMITH was instantly killed, the body being badly mangled.
Among the injured are:

Six persons were killed, ten are in the hospital and more than a score were more of less injured in a head-on collision of two Sherman Heights street cars on Harrison avenue near the city limits at 6:45 o'clock this morning. Confusion of signals is said to have been the cause of the accident. Both cars were running at a rapid rate into a dip into the track when the crash came. The incoming car was heavily loaded with persons on their way to work in the city and most of those killed and injured were on this car. Both motormen were killed instantly.
The Dead:
Motorman EDWARD PARKER.
Motorman WILLIAM PENNINGTON.
WILLIAM E. SMITH, a meat dealer.
Three Unidentified Negroes, one named CLEVELAND.
The accident was preceded by a break at the power house and the current was off during the fog which served to keep the motormen in ignorance of the proximity of the cars.
J. K. BRACE of Michigan, whose injuries may prove fatal, was in Chattanooga attending the reunion of the Army of the Cumberland. |

Chris. Lillard, who resides at 141 East Fourth street, met with an accident about noon which will no doubt confine him to his home for some time. While attempting to alight from a moving street car at the corner of Fourth and Limestone streets yesterday, Mr. Lillard in some way lost his balance and fell violently to the pavement.
The fall rendered him unconscious, causing the blood to flow freely from his ears, mouth and nose. He was taken to his home and Dr. Scott was hastily summoned.
Mr. Lillard is a well known business man of this city, at present being in charge of the furniture department at the department store of J. D. Purcell & Company.
Mr. Lillard was resting easily at a late hour last night. |

The steel bridge over Cahaba River, about fifteen miles east of Birmingham, was knocked down early this morning when several cars in freight train No. 36, eastbound, became derailed and ran on the cross ties. Eight cars went into the river. No lives were lost but traffic was delayed all day. A broken flange on one of the cars in the freight train caused the wreck. A large force of men was put to work repairing the bridge. In the meantime the track of the Southern Railway was used between Weems and Henry Ellen. |

A score or more of persons were injured in a panic late today on a crowded electric car returning from the baseball park, which ran away down a steep incline east of Madison avenue. None of the injured is fatally hurt.
There were 100 or more passengers on the car, which was one of a number bringing the crowd back from today's Southern league baseball game. It is customary for the cars to come down the steep incline one at a time.
It is stated that car No. 36 was too close to the car ahead and when it became apparent that the car was beyond control of the motorman and while he was shouting to the crew ahead to pull out and give him room there was a scramble for safety among the passengers. Men, women and boys jumped off the car and in a few moments the roadway was lined with injured persons. The car was stopped at the foot of the hill without accident. |

George Tarleton, prominent here as a lumber exporter, came near losing his life while trying to board a moving passenger train this morning at Long Beach. Mr. Tarleton arrived, it seems at the station just as the L. & N. No. 5 was moving off, and while running to board it, he collided with a baggage truck, his lower limbs being thrown under the coach. Like a flash, the engineer was signaled to apply the brakes, which he did, the wheels of the coach under which the unfortunate man fell, becoming rigid at once.
When the locked wheels reached the body of the prostrate man, he was drageed for several feet but unhurt. Other than the soreness incident to the ordeal through which the lumberman passed, he is all right.
Mr. Tarleton is a very heavy man and his escape was nothing short of marvellous. Those who saw the accident say that both of the man's legs were across the track and thatthe wheels of the car instead of running over them seemed to push them to one side. Mr. Tarleton's money and contents of his pockets were scattered beside the track as he rolled along the platform. |

Northbound Illinois Central limited train No. 2 was derailed at Hanging Moss Creek, four miles north of Jackson early today, the threemail clerks and an unknown person being instantly killed, several other members of the train crew injured, and five of the cars with their contents consumed by fire.
Superintendent F. E. HILL and other division officials, who have been on the scene for the past twelve hours making an investigation, are convinced that the train was deliberately wrecked for the purpose of robbery, and it is stated that special agents of the company have secured a clew[sic] to the guilty parties. The cause of the derailment was the removal of several fishplates at rail joints. The intended looters failed in their purposes, evidently becoming frightened when all of the train did not leave the rails.
Within five minutes after the engine left the rails, carrying with it the library car, two sleepers and a sombination mail and express car, the derailed coaches were wrapped in flames and the passengers in the two sleepers had narrow escapes.
The mail and baggage cars were dumped in such a manner that it was impossible to get at their contents, which were entirely burned.
Engineer McCLOATER and Fireman AMES did not jump until the engine had been brought to a standstill 100 feet from the main track. |

More than a score of the passengers of an Illinois Central passenger train were injured, several perhaps fatally, when spreading rails threw it into a ditch 28 miles east of Paducah (Ky.) late this afternoon. One life was taken by the same train a short time before the accident when SIMON STEVENS, mine boss at Central City, Ky., threw himself before the train as it passed the town.
When rounding a curve at a 50-mile clip the rail spread. The nine coaches toppled into the ditch. Relief and wrecking trains were from here, but at midnight neither had returned. The seriously injured will be brought to local hospitals.
Among those injured are: Engineer HNRY FRAILY, Louisville, badly crushed under his engine; Fireman LUDLOW, internal hurts; CLARENCE PREW, Shreveport, La., leg broken; L.A.

Mr. C.E. Radley, of Knoxville, narrowly escaped death this morning when the horse he was driving was cut in two by a Baltimore and Ohio engine, and the wagon in which he was driving was demolished.
Men near the Baltimore and Ohio crossing at Knoxville noticed Mr. Radley approaching the track, apparently oblivious to the close approach of the shifting engine, and shouted to him, but he evidently did not hear. As the horse reached the middle of the track the engine struck it, killing it instantly and carrying it some distance. The wheels from the wagon were torn from the axles, and Mr. Radley thrown to the bottom of the wagon.
He was stunned by the shock and could not speak for several minutes, but in a short while he recovered and was found to be unhurt. |

Victims of the troop train wreck on the Mobile & Ohio railroad at Buckatunna, Miss., were brought to Mobile early today on relief trains. The list of known dead at 8 o'clock was 17, most of whom were members of the 170th coast artillery.
There were 74 seriously injured soldiers in Mobile hospitals, while a number of the less seriously hurt were taken to the government hospital at Fort Morgan.
Investigations of the cause of the wreck continued today. It was believed to have resulted from the derailing of the locomotive tender, which dragged the baggage car and three coaches off the track and over a 25-foot trestle. The injured were members of the 170th and 39th companies and the 8th band. They were enroute from Fort Morgan and Fort Barancas to a state fair at Meridian, Miss.
The wrecked cars are in a ravine, sixty feet deep. The suffering of the injured has been terrible, although the soldiers who escaped injury have done noble work.
The trestle on which the train was wrecked, was destroyed.
The train was running at great speed when the accident occurred.
At a curve on the lofty trestle the rails spread and the entire train pitched into a great gulch.
Almost instantly the wreckage caught fire. |

Thirteen persons were killed and more than a hundred injured, some of them fatally, early today when three coaches of a Central of Georgia passenger train left the rails at a point seventeen miles south of here and plunged down a steep embankment. The train, which consisted of five cars crowded with excursionists, was en route from Ozark, Ala., to Eufaula, where a fair is being held.
A broken rail is said to have been the cause of the accident. As the crowded excursion train rounded a curve the three cars at the rear, literally packed with passengers, suddenly left the track, and, breaking away from the others, dashed down the steep embankment. The wrecked coaches were practically demolished. Shrieks and groans of the injured rose above the rending crash of splintering timbers. |

Two persons were seriously injured in the morning and another sustrained minor hurts when the Royal Palm, No. 11, south bound passenger train over the Queen & Crescent Route became detrailed about ten miles south of Ludlow. The locomotive was hurled over the embankment where the wreck occurred, turning completely over and coming to a standstill upside down. The first coach was turned corsswise on the two tracks, stopping traffic, while the second and third were thrown off their tracks.
The engineer, James Collier, sustained a broken arm and broken leg, and was brought to the Good Samaritan Hospital in a serious condition. The fireman was also seriously injured, but was taken back to Cincinnati instead of being brought to Lexington. The baggagemaster suffered injuries of a minor nature.
Despite the fact that the heavy passenger train composed of nine coaches and the engine, was traveling at a rate of about thirty-five or forty miles an hour, none of the passengers was hurt, but all were badly shaken up.
Following a message received at Danville a wrecking crew and train was immediately sent to the scene of the accident. After four hours and a half delay the track was cleared and traffic was resumed.
The exact cause of the accident has not been determined, though E. W. Link, one of the passengers, said he believed it was due to a buckled rail, caused by the intense heat. |

An automobile in which ANDERSON HAWKINS, of 225 Wilson Street, and MAX LATTERMER, were riding, skidded and crashed into a street cat on Deweese street, between Second and Third Streets, shortly after 11 o'clock last night. Both HAWKINS and LATTERMER were severely bruised but escaped serious injury. The machine was slightly damaged.
As the car and machine, approaching from opposite directions, were passing, the rear wheels of the automobile skidded, throwing the body of the machine against the car. Both were moving at a low rate of speed, which probably saved the two men in the machine from more serious injury.
HAWKINS immediately went to his home, where his injuries were attended. LATTERMER was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital to have his hand, which had bee severely cut by the shattering of the windshield dressed. |

The Great Train Wreck of 1918 occurred on July 9, 1918, in Nashville, Tennessee. Two passenger trains, operated by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad ("NC&StL"), collided head-on, killing 101 people and injuring an additional 171. It is considered the deadliest rail accident in United States history.
The two trains involved were the No. 4, scheduled to depart Nashville for Memphis, Tennessee at 7:00 a.m., and the No. 1 from Memphis, about a half-hour late for a scheduled arrival in Nashville at 7:10 a.m. At about 7:20 a.m., the two trains collided while traversing a section of single track line known as "Dutchman's Curve" west of downtown, in the present-day neighborhood of Belle Meade. Traveling at an estimated 50/60 miles per hour, the impact derailed both trains and completely destroyed several wooden cars.
An investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) attributed the cause of the accident to several factors, notably serious errors by the No. 4 crew and tower operators, all of whom failed to properly account for the presence of the No. 1 train on the line. The ICC also pointed to a lack of a proper system for the accurate determination of train positions, and noted that the wooden construction of the cars greatly increased the number of fatalities. |

On February 24, 1919, there was a side collision between a freight train of the Central of Georgia Railroad and a passenger train of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at the intersection of their tracks at Sylacauga, Ala., which resulted in the death of 1 passenger and the injury of 17 passengers and 3 employees. After investigation of this accident, the Chief of the Bureau of Safety reports as follows:
The Birmingham District of the Columbus Division of the Central of Georgia Railroad, on which this accident occurred, extends between Birmingham, Ala., and Columbus, Ga., a distance of 157 miles. The Anniston-Calera Subdivision of the Alabama Mineral Division of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad extends between Anniston, Ala., and Calera, Ala., a distance of 86.26 miles.
Approaching the crossing from the west on the Central of Georgia Railroad the track is straight for a distance of 1-1/2 miles, with an ascending grade of .3%. Approaching from the north on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad the track is straight and practically level for a distance of 1,800 feet, there being an unobstructed view of the crossing for this distance. The crossing at the point of accident is not protected except by stop boards located 57 feet west of the crossing on the Central of Georgia track and 97 feet north of the crossing on the Louisville & Nashville track. Approximately a hundred feet north of the crossing and on the west side of the Louisville & Nashville track there is a brick building which obstructs the view of trains on the Central of Georgia Railroad approaching from the west. On the north side of the main track of the Central of Georgia Railroad is a passing track, the east switch to this track being about 70 feet west of the crossing. |

The first car to leave the track was loaded with fluxing stone. This car was followed by three box cars, which were immediately behind it in the train, filled with equipment belonging to a carnival company which was being moved from Olive Hill to Ashland.
The derailed cars and their contents were badly damaged and seven hours of work was required to clear the main line of the wreckage. This work was done by wrecking crews from this city. Passengers from train No. 23, west-bound to Louisville, and No. 22, east-bound from Louisville, were transferred at the scene of the wreck |

The lowering today of the coffins containing three members of the family of George W Johnson of Covington who were killed late Saturday when their automobile stalled on a rail-road track at Corinth, Ky., as they emerged from a cemetery, will write the final chapter into the tragic outcome of a mourning party.
They had buried Johnson?s step mother at Mason, Ky., Saturday and Johnson, his wife and their two sons and daughter were returning to their home when a freight train bore down on the automobile and smashed it to pieces.
The three will be laid to rest in one grave. There to watch will be Kenneth, age 11, the only one of the party to escape.
Sitting next to his father, he jumped, and later saw his mother, his father and his 9 year old sister THELMA killed and his brother Robert, 10, seriously injured. |

Twenty dead and more than 30 injured is the known toll taken when the Sunnyland, fast San Francisco passenger train, left the rails near Victoria, Miss., and rolled a tangled mass, down a 40 foot embankment.
At least 20 persons were killed outright or died before a relief train could reach the scene and possibly twice that number were injured.
The train traveled about 50 or 60 miles an hour, apparently spread the track about 300 yards from the station and bout 200 feet from a 40 foot trestle. The engine crossed the trestle as did the first baggage car. The engine did not leave the track. Three baggage cars and 9 day coaches and Pullmans made up the train.
All of the cars except the last Pullman rolled down the 40 foot embankment.

Five members of two train crews and an employe of the American Railway Express Company, all of Louisville, Ky., were reported killed eight miles from Henderson this morning, when passenger train No. 146, on the Louisville, Henderson and St. Louis R. R., crashed head-on into a freight.
The dead:
W. B. BUSH, passenger train engineer.
CLYDE HALL, passenger fireman.
J. A. BELL, passenger baggageman.
JOHN F. HARDER, freight engineer.
HEWITT B. MAYSEY, freight fireman.
MILTON I. BUCKLEY, freight brakeman.
The wreck occurred about 3:35 a.m., according to reports. Passengers who were awake when the crash occurred said the train seemed to be going slowly. There was a sudden grinding of brakes, they said, and then the impact. Both engines were demolished and one baggage car was smashed. The wreck burst into flames immediately after the crash.
The six men were buried in the burning wreckage and three bodies have been recovered. One was identified as that of the baggagemaster of the passenger train.
None of the passengers was injured seriously but L. A. ROOT, conductor of the passenger train, was brought to a hospital here and was reported in a serious condition. |

A 100-car freight train demolished a school bus loaded with about 40 children here today, killing at least 10 of them and injuring all the others.
The state-highway patrol at Nashville said its reports had 17 definitely killed, but this figure could not be confirmed from the several hospitals and funeral homes involved.
The Southern Railway train struck the bus broadside, scattering dead and injured grammar school children for 10 car-lengths along the track.
The accident happened just off the main street of this town of less than 2,000 population, two blocks from the elementary school the children had just left.
Bus driver RAYMOND MOORE, who was treated for head injuries, said four parked cars obstructed his view of the oncoming train.
"I stopped at the crossing," MOORE said, "but didn't see the train. When I started across the tracks, I saw it and heard the engineer blowing his whistle." |

A freight train knifed through a rural school bus Monday, spilling screaming children alongside the track and killing four of them. Eight others and the bus driver were seriously injured.
"The brakes gave out," said the driver, CHARILE BEAVERS, 50, at a hospital. "I never saw the train but it wouldn't have made any difference if I had."
The train, traveling about 55 m.p.h. on a straight track in clear weather, hit the bus at the mid-section, cut it in two, and dragged the rear part of the wreckage three-quarters of a mile beyond the dirt road crossing.
All of the 12 children and the driver were in the smashed front half of the bus. Some of the children who tumbled out landed in a water-filled ditch.
"I must have been knocked unconscious but I remember hearing the kids holler and I remember getting out of the bus. I started pulling them out of the water," BEAVERS said.
BEAVERS, who has been making this school bus run for farm children the past three years, said the brakes on the 1951 bus failed him several times recently.
E. G. THOMAS, SR., superintendent of Jack County schools, said the bus last was checked about 10 days ago and "was in good condition when it left the shop."
Two of the dead -- LEONARD BEAVERS, 12, and his brother, FOSTER BEAVERS, 16 -- were the driver's nephews.
Others killed were FRANCES CORBITT, 10 and her sister, MARY GRACE CORBITT, 8. |

The crack passenger train "City of New Orleans," barreling through Magnolia en route to Chicago at about 80 miles per hour, rammed into a gasoline truck at a whistle stop crossing today, killing six persons and injuring six others.
Earlier reports had as many as nine dead, but Illinois Railroad spokesmen in New Orleans said the revised figure came from its claims agent at the crash scene.
THe streamliner, en route to Chicago from New Orleans, streaked 300 yards after smashing into the truck with flames sweeping the length of its nine cars.
Illinois Central authorities said the City of New Orleans was not due to stop in Magnolia, about 100 miles north of New Orleans. The truck driver, they said, apparently did not hear the train or realize it was approaching.
Railroad spokesmen both in Chicago and New Orleans said there were no reports of passenger injuries.
Spokesmen at McComb said the gasoline truck driver apparently was unaware the City of New Orleans was due and started across the track. The train plowed into the truck with "a terrible explosion," MRS. WILMA GRAY told newsmen. She worked in a drug store near the crash scene. |

Five children were killed and three persons injured critically when their car collided with a freight train at a crossing about ten miles south of Brandenburg (Ky.).
State Trooper JAMES McRAE said a car driven by MRS. ARTIE HAYNES, 29, of Guston, apparently on her way to church, drove into the path of a Louisville and Nashville freight train at Ekron.
McRAE said the engineer, W. R. POPE of Shepherdsville, saw the car and thought it was going to stop. POPE, who estimated he was going 40-50 miles per hour, said the car continued slowly along Ky. 144.
The car was dragged about 100 feet and all but one of its eight occupants were thrown out, McRAE said.
Dead were two of MRS. HAYNES' children, MARTHA, 6, and JANET, 2, and three of her nieces, NOLA MARY FLACKER, 6, DONNA JO FLACKER, 1, and KAREN SUE, 6 months.
MRS. HAYNES and her two sons, HERBIE, 7, and GEORGE, 4, were hospitalized in critical condition.

A derailed tank car loaded with 2,000 gallons of propane exploded in "a ball of fire" Friday when workmen began to drain it, hurling burning bodies into the air and setting downtown Waverly afire.
A spokesman for Adj. Gen. Carl Wallace, head of the Tennessee National Guard, said Friday night at least 11 persons were killed and 145 injured.
But spokesman Hooper Penuel said the casualty figures â??are going to fluctuate" and "I really can't give you a definite figure until they go in there and scrape up all that stuff."
'It was just big rolls of flame and black smoke," police dispatcher W. E. Bishop said. "There were people in the air, landing on fire, people with their clothes burning. It was just a ball of fire."
Firefighters rushed to the scene throughout East Tennessee. Airborne firefighting units were flown in from Ft. Campbell, Ky.
Six hours after the blast devastated the town of 4,000, fires still burned in the downtown area and firemen poured foam on a second propane tanker to keep it cool.
Spokesman Penuel said 16 buildings were destroyed in the downtown area. He said civil defense units on the scene asked for a refrigerated van to be sent in for use as a morgue.
The tankers were among 24 cars of a Louisville & Nashville freight train that derailed Wednesday when a broken wheel hit a switch point. |

Civil Defense officials ordered the second evacuation of about 150 residents of this rural West Tennessee community early today while cleanup crews began righting a derailed freight train tanker containing caustic lye.
The tanker was among 25 cars of a 101 car Illinois Central-Gulf train that derailed Sunday afternoon. There were no injuries or fire but residents within a mile of the accident were evacuated to protect them from noxious fumes.
The evacuees were allowed to return five hours later when officials decided there was no immediate danger from the sodium hydroxide.
Among the derailed cars were two empty tankers which had carried liquid propane gas. They were considered â??dangerousâ? because any vapors still inside them could explode, and authorities ordered residents evacuated again early this morning while the cars were put back on the tracks.
Officials said the evacuees were sent to high schools in Milan and Bradford for about eight hours until cleanup operations were over.
The derailment occurred 80 miles west of Waverly, where a derailed propane tanker exploded Friday, killing 12 people and injuring 50 more. |

Der Amtrak-Zug "Sunset Limited" mit 200 Reisenden stürzt in den Fluß. Die Drehbrückenfunktion war nicht blockiert, aber ein durchgehendes Gleis über die Brücke verlegt. Ursache ist der Zusammenstoß eines Schubverbands mit unkundigem Schiffsführer mit der Brücke bei Nebel, wodurch die Gleise ca 3 ft. verschoben wurden. Sie brachen jedoch nicht, so dass die automatische Gleisfreimeldeanlage nicht ansprach und die Signale Fahrt-Stellung anzeigten. |

Ein Schubverband, der aufgrund dichten Nebels vom Kurs abgekommen war, rammt einen Brückenpfeiler der Eisenbahnbrücke über den Mobile River 15 Meilen nördlich von Mobile. Die Brücke wurde als Drehbrücke gebaut, allerdings nie als solche benutzt und daher fixiert. Durch den Aufprall des Schubverbandes löst sich die Fixierung und die Brücke dreht sich um ca. 90 cm. Kurze Zeit später (gegen 3.00 Uhr) fährt der "Sunset Limited" (Los Angeles - Miami) mit voller Geschwindkeit über die Brücke. Die Lok entgleist, und die drei folgenden Wagen stürzen in den Fluss.

On Sunday, about 4:15 a.m., central daylight time, two CN freight trains collided head on in Anding, Mississippi. The collision occurred on the CN Yazoo Subdivision, where the trains were being operated under a centralized traffic control signal system on single track. Signal data indicated that the northbound train, IC 1013 North, continued past a stop (red) signal at North Anding and collided with the southbound train, IC 1023 South, about 1/4 mile beyond the signal. The collision resulted in the derailment of 6 locomotives and 17 cars. About 15,000 gallons of diesel fuel were released from the locomotives and resulted in a fire that burned for about 15 hours. Two crewmembers were on each train; all four were killed. As a precaution, about 100 Anding residents were evacuated; they did not report any injuries. Property damages exceeded 9.5 million; clearing and environmental cleanup costs totaled about 616,800. |
