Il hear that locomotive. known as
the Oakland, blew up the other day on
the Sharpsville railroad and killed her
engineer" said Abel Garrett, q veteran
railroad man, land that reminds me of
two singular accidents that happened
to the same locomotive. In the spring
of 1871 Charley Greene was her engin-
eer. He was backing with her toward
Sharpsville. Besides the engineer and
fireman a weigher in one of the mines,
named Reilly. was riding in the cab.
When two miles from Sharpsyille COW
suddenly ran out of the woods and
jumped on the track in front of the
tender. The tender struck the COW
and both it and the engine were thrown
off the track, the tender tumbling down
the bank on the one side of the track
and the engine on the other side. She
rolled over and plowed her dome into
the soft ground almost up to the boiler.
Reilly was killed and the engineer and
fireman badly hurt. When the engine
was raised there was big hole left in
the ground where the dome had buried
itself, and it got to be quite land
mark.
I'm the summer ten years later Bob
Logan was running the Oakland. and
one day he was backing toward Sharps-
vile. At exactly the same spot where
the COW had appeared on the track in
1871 a big hog came slouching from the
side of the railroad and put itself
square in front of the tender. The
truck struck it and the tender was
raised off the rails, and it rolled to the
position it had been thrown in before,
and the engine pitched off the other
side and tumbled over so that the dome
buried itself in the hole it had made in
the ground when it was thrown down
the bank ten years ago. The fireman
was crushed to death at that time. The
odd part Of this locomotives end is
that it exploded almost on the same
spot where it met with its two former
mishaps. - Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Cor. N
