ties at least $50 feet and the extraor-
binary strain put on the bridge caused
the structure to collapse.
Members Of the train crew were dis
patched to Fowler to notify the Santa
Fe Offices Of the accident, and relief
trains were sent to the scene as quick
~ as possible from both Pueblo and
La Junta. When these trains arrived
at the creek all the injured had been
removed from the wreckage. The cars
were not badly broken up and the pas
sengers in them had escaped with
bruises, strains and cuts. After their
wounds had been dressed they were
piloted across the dry bed Of the creek,
and. with the passengers who were un-
injured, were taken to La Junta in a
special train. Engineer Walker ana
others who are seriously injured were
placed in the Santa Fe hospital there
and the remaining passengers resumed
their eastward journey, with the eN-
