applied the brakes. but was unable to
stop the train. Five cars were com

the car struck, the bridge and were
torn out. The live Goals from the stove
we're scattered throughout the cars.
The Mitchen child fell through the
bottom of the car, it's clothes catching
to the girder, where it cried loudly for
it's mother, who had been instantly
killed in the wreck. The cars and the
bridge in few seconds were a mass
of flames and the child was burned to
