train reached the 15O-foot high bridge over
Walnut Greek, near Swantown, Penn,
the engineer saw a man in the
middle of the bridge The train was
running at the rate of forty miles
an hour and to reverse it on the bridge
would have imperilled the train and its 100
passengers Although the poor fellow stood
wringing his hands in agony and looked
