Rutland at the usual IA tie of speed, and had
passed about mile north of North Dorset,

asunder. The rod on one side dropped to the
road bed, while on the other, the side on
which the engineer was sitting, the rod came
up through the bottom Of the cab, ripping
out the engineers seat. Quicker, almost
