I The Pittsburgh Telegraph furnishes the
particulars Of a recent thrilling experience
/ by an engineer and fireman on the Mountain
, Division Of the Pa. r. r. 1t was on the
night express train, which consisted Of three
baggage three coach and three sleeping cars
: on the eastern side, when the engineer dis
covered that the air brake was out OF order
and could not be made to hold the train.
He at once whistled down brakes" but the
brakemen were evidently sleeping, or at any
rate they paid no attention to the call. The
train in the meantime was assuming fear
full velocity. Another sharp call for down
brakes, - but still no response, and this v as
. continued six times before the sleepy brakes
men were aroused. Then the brakes were
put on sharply, and gradually the speed
slaCkened, and jusS before coming 20 the
Horse Shoe curve the train was stopped.
Though it was one of the coolest nights of
the season, yet the engineer and fireman
were both wet with perspiration the result
Of their fearful experience. AS the passen-
gers were nearly all sleeping, they had no
knowledge of the danger they had passed
through.
