VIOLENT COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD,
AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—A very long heavy goods
train, proceeding on the above railway from Manchester
to Grimsby at 4 o'clock last Friday morning, came in
violent collision with a cattle truck that was standing
crosswise on the main line within 200 yards of the
Worksop station on the Sheffield side. The train was
drawn by a very powerful engine, the Erebus, and was
running at a quick pace. So great was the shock that
seven of the foremost trucks were thrown off the line,
and two of them, with the engine and tender, were pre-
cipitated violently down a very steep embankment, a
depth of 30 feet. The driver and fireman, not having
had time to leap off, were hurled down the steep
descent, and had a narrow escape of being crushed to
death by the ponderous engine and tender that accom-
panied them in the fall. The cattle trusk that caused
the obstruction was shivered into fragments, and two
of the goods waggons were smashed to almost the
same extent. The freight consisted of salt, bales of
cotton, and miscellaneous merchandise. An immense
e
quantity of salt, as well as a great many bales,
scattered about, but, without having sustained much
damage, the dispersed commodities were recollected and
forwarded to their destination in fresh trucks together
with the rest of the train. The rails were cleared and
adjusted with all possible dispatch, but the main line
could not be reopened till half-past three o'clock in the
afternoon. The truck that caused the mischief had
advanced from an adjacent siding. The wind, which
was very strong, might have propelled it upon the main
line, but one of the company's servants states that on
the previous evening he secured it on the siding by
blocking the wheels. There is evidence that at one
o'clock in the morning the truck was at the terminus of
the siding with one corner projecting towards the main
