Two trains were standing on the

third train swung around curve and
crashed into them. Only the best OF
good fortune prevented a terrible
tragedy. After the crash the ends Of
shattered cars hung far over the side

the highest points on the line. Had
they moved a few inches more they
would have pitched TO the ground far
