shire railroad, bound from Liverpool to

an empty stationary train at the Hall
Road station, causing the death of
twenty-three persons and the injury of
many. The first car Of the express,
which was crowded, was smashed to
pieces and only six of it's occupants
escaped.
The collision lifted the first car of
the express completely off the steel
frame and crashed it down again on
the unfortunate passengers, twenty Of
whom were killed outright.
More of them would have been killed
but for the presence Of mind Of a
Liverpool architect, who, seeing that
collision was inevitable, shouted to
his fellow passengers to throw them.
selves upon the floor Of the car.
Almost Immediately after the crash
the wreckage burst into flames.
This is the first serious accident that
has occurred on an electric railway in
England, and it filled with horror the
numerous waiting passengers standing
at the Hall Road station, who were
spectators Of the disaster.
