ing, plunged through a trestle at Mis-
souri, City, Mo, at 7:06, carrying down
the entire train, with the exception OF
the rear Pullman. The gorge had be-
come raging torrent because of the
tremendous downpouT OF rain and the
structure weakened. Seven persons
were killed
The train was composed of mall
car, baggage and express car, smoker,
chair car, sleeper and two coaches for
Excelsior Springs 1t made the run
without incident until the bridge about
two miles this side of Missouri City
WIS reached There Is q wooden tres
tie on a curve. As the train struck the
trestle 1t swung out of line, being
weakened by the tremendous volume
of water that was flowing beneath it.
The engine passed over safely, but the
structure went down beneath the mail
car and the tender was broken loose
from the engine and fell off the track
on its side. The mail car went down
into the water and the express car fol-
lowed, each falling on its side.
The chair car tipped down into the
chasm, and as the rear end raised up
the front end of the sleeper went up
and it stood on end, the lower end
grinding and crushing the mail and
baggage cars beneath 1t. The front
end of the sleeper was out over the
chasm, but it was held in place by the
couplings of the two cars behind 1t.
The accident happened during one OF
the heaviest rain storms ever seen in
that country 1t was accompanied by
tremendous roll Of thunder and the
most vivid lightning The elements
and the horrible nature of the acci.
dent combined to make it one of the
most terrifying sights imaginable.
