A week or two ago rs an extra
freight, consisting OF an engine and
is loaded cars, was between Walden
and West Danville, the train broke
apart. The engineer, fireman and
one brakeman ran the engine into the
yard and set the switch just as the
IS cars came rushing in. The
switch was set so as to turn them on
to the spur at the freight depot, into
which they crashed, carrying one
half of the freight house with them,
completely demoli>hing six cars and
going within about eight feet of the
passenger station. No one was in
