Tennessee Pass and Eagle River canyon
Disordered air brakes were the cause.
The limited California express was two
hours late. Just after leaving Tennes-

that the air brakes did not respond and
he called for hand brakes. This started
panic, and fifty or more men and women
fastened to the rear Of the train with
the feeling that this was the safest place
in case Of a wreck.
The train ran for twenty miles before
1t was controlled and at rate of con-

There Is a difference of more than 1000
feet between the elevations of TENNESSEE

fifteen miles were passed while the brakes
