to Cincinnati was the express which
had left St. Louis an hour and 20
minutes before. This train was run
ming at full speed.
Several baggage and mail cars were
thrown into a ditch and piled up in
a mass.
The two engines jumped high into
the air and fell to the earth shapeless
masses of twisted steel.
One of the mail cars caught fire, but
the uniniured members of the two
crews and some sections hands who
arrived put out the blaze.
The sleeping cars of the westbound
train, which did not leave the track,
