The collision. head ender, occurred
during the heavy fog. about 1880 a. M.

Fireman Bissonnet This train was
stcaming in Mt the rate of about twenty
miles an hour.
Switch engine No. Ga, in charge OF En-
gineer Tom Walton and Fireman Sweat,
WAS moving west on the same track, pull
ing sewn loaded cars out of the lower
end of the yard.
The fog was so dense that it was impos-
slble TO see far ahead. Engineer Walton
of the switch engine was the first to dis
cover the impending crash and he immed-
lately reversed his engine, and going slow
had brought it pretty well to standstill
when the crash came.
The engineers and .firemen on both
locomotives saw tho danger in time to
Jump and save themselves, and 1t was well
they did, as it is doubtful from the con-
dition of things after the wreck that any
man on either of the engines could have
escaped with his life
The locomotives were badly telescoped
and are complete wreck. The track was
torn up for u hundred yards or more. and
three or four freight cars were wrecked
and more or less damaged.
