which could have been guarded

trestle point where there has been a solid
en- ba knnent for the last forty years There is
small stream at this point, which has always been
easily taken care of b three foot stone cu!vert
point Just before the accident two heavy clouds
were noticed approaching each other some distance
north OF our line but this occurred late at
nicht there is definite information as 10 what
really did occur.
IL is supposed that when these two clouds came
together there was very heavy downpour or ram
AZ the head OF the small valley which
bankment passed The water rose some five or six
feet above the top of our cufvert, and passing
down through the culvert caused a sort of a
whirlpool action which cut into the bank on the
north side and undermined the north half of the
track so that when the engine came on II IL was
thrown TO the north and the cars went down the
south hank The cuIvert not washed out and
neither was the embankment completely destroyed
