was a local pass senger, with three cars
and locomotive. It stands there yet,
the cars tilted by the washing of the
track, but comparatively uninjured.
Somehow couple more locomotives have
been run into the sand bank in front.
A freight train stood upon the track
whereon q large collection of smashed
cars has its place now. 1t was broken all
to pieces. Inside of all was the day ex.
press, with its baggage and express cars
and at the end three vestibule cars. It
was from this train that a number of pas
sengers-hfteen certainly, and no one
knows how many more-were lost.
When the alarm came, most of the pas
sengers fed for the high ground. Many
reached it. Others hesitated on the way;
tried to run back, and were lost. Others
stayed on the cars, and after the first
rush of the food were rescued alive.
Some Of the freight cars were loaded
with lime, and these leaped over the ves-
tibule cars and set them on fire, and
quickly had the cars blazing. Three of the
vestibule cars were burned down to the
trucks. These and the peculiar shaped
iron frames of the vestibules are all that
show where the cars stood. The reason
the food did not wipe out these three
trains entirely is supposed to be that just
in front of them and between them and
the food, was the round-house filled with
engines. 1t was a large building, and
probably forty feet high to the tops of
the Yentilators in the roof. The wave of
wrath, eye witnesses say, was so high
that these ventilators were beneath it.
The round house was swept away to its
very foundation, and the food played
| jack-straws with the locomotives. But it
| split the torrent. and part of it went
down each side of the trains, saving them
from the worst of its force. Thirty three
| locomotives were in and around the
round-house and repair shops near. OF
| these twenty-six have been found, or at
least traced, part of them being found
scattered down into Johnstown, and one
tender was found in Stony Greek.
| The other seven locomotives are gone
not trace of them has been found up to
this time. 1t Is supposed that some Of
| them are in the sixty acres of debris at
Johnstown above the bridge. All the lo-
comOtiYes that remain anywhere within
sight of the round house, all except those
attached to the trains, are thrown about
in every direction, smashed, broken and
useless except for old iron. The tenders
| are all gone. Being lighter than the To-
comotives, they foated more easily, and
/ were more quickly carried away. The en-
| gines were apparently rolled over and
over, in whichever direction ran the cur
rent which had hold of them, and occa.
siOnally were picked up bodily and
slammed down again, wheels up or which,
ever way chanced to be most convenient
| to the food. Most of them lie in five feet
| of mud and gravel with only part show.

In the town OF Conemaugh there are
only thirty eight persons positively
known to have perished.
