Brakeman s G.. Gray was riding on the
locomotive in order 10 get off and open the
switch. Just as the train was emerging
from the tunnel Engineer Albaugh saw
landslide of rocks and earth rolling down
the side of a deep cut Just ahead of the
train, at point about 800 yards west of
Sheridan station. on the track Although
the train was only running about fifteen
miles an hour and the lever was reversed
at once, II was impossible TO stop it before
reaching the obstruction on the line. The
locomotive struck the slide with such force
that il was broken loose from the tender.
and the engine was turned completely
around The engineer had started to get
out through the window by which he was
sitting, and was fortunate enough TO escape
with but slight injuries As he got away
he looked and saw the fireman and brake
man drop down between the disconnected
engine and tender The shock caused the
breaking Of some Of the steam pipes
in the engine, and in an instant
there was cloud OF boiling steam pouring
out on The two unfortunate men who had
fallen there. The steam was so dense and
the cut in the road vas so narrow that
they could find no possible way to escape
and they were almost roasted alive. Fire
man MahOn was the more fortunate OF the
two, as he fell in such a way rs TO avoid
the full force OF the steam. II happened.

men, The three were at once car

sufferer, the steam having roasted his flesh
until it was falling from him in great
pieces, and he was at once removed 10 the
