There were two cars loaded with lumber
standing on the trestle and another car
nearly unloaded down by the mill. The
engines struck the loaded cars with suffi-
cient force to start them down the steep
grade, they crashed into the car at the
mill, and it was jammed against the dam
and derailed. One of the cars was box
car and had one end knocked out caused
by the lumber shocking back when the
engines struck them.
