Here was a pretty predicament
My engine goin' down Pine Hin under
a full head OF steam with heavy
freight train behind hex II wouldn't
have been so bad " ] had not known
that Ras Cole was only about Ave
minutes ahead OF me with a train OF
coal iimmlcs.
Il attempted 10 put the reverse
lever In the back motion. but the
steam was on such a full head that
couldn't bulge the thing. Then gave
the high sign on my whistle several
times to let Ras Cole know was
comm down the NIL out OF control n
II would be wise for hire to shake
leg or he'd get spinicatod.
in an almost incredible time w
swung around by the Gate station n

lat mans collar on not uay' NO
more than quarter OF mile ahea'
OF us was ltas Coles train MAYBE
that little oabooso OF his didn't Tool
as big as a summer boardin' house
"Ras had heard my warnin whistle
n was dom his best lie was gain
In Roadway, but he wasn't In oul
class. | could figure out that we woul'
just about meet up with his caboos'
around the ten degree curve below the
Gate. t..
"Ras' train was now goin' at ter
rifle speed, too, n II was question
whether either train would Keep th'
rails goin 'roun' the sharp curve
could almost reach the tai lights OF
that caboose ahead. In second
thought we would be into them n
would be rollin' down the embank
ment amidst the wreekage OF TWISTED
iron, coal n miscellaneous freight.
Then came an awful crash n
thought | could feel my engine goln
down tho bank. But my engine kep
goin' N l could tell by the lnrchin
that she was nkin' the curve apsrlgh
m true. .-, Ia
Il opened my eyes. The red Hight
OF tho caboOsa had disappeared. II
the rayine below mo could hear
crashln'. rollin' sound n SEQ darl
shapes tumblin' down.
