was derailed at Witty Junction yes

rolled down a twenty-five foot en-
bankment, hurting the passengers
about as they turned over. There
was no ditch to cause piling of the
cars at the bottom of the bank and to
this is due the marvellous escape of
the passengers. No one was killed
though over twenty suffered more or
less severe injuries. Several Ameri-
cans were on the train going through
