TRAIN
GOES ON RAMPAGE
Breaking of Driving Rod Results
in String of Cars Rushing
Down Grade
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

VALLEJO, March 2S.-Tearing its
way to what seemed almost certain de-
struction runaway Southern Pacific
noon one mile and a half from Napa
Junction, where a passenger train con-
tanning as passengers many prominent
residents of this county was waiting.
That the runaway train did not leave
the track or crash into the passenger
train was due to the heroic efforts of
Engineman Paddy Ryan, Conductor
Moran and the train crew, who clam
bered on top of the freight cars and
applied the handbrakes.
Fifteen minutes after the freight
train, which was made up of %
heavily laden cars, left Cordelia
and was descending a steep grade.
one OF the driving rods of the loco
motive, broke. A piece Of the rod was
hurled through the cab window, and
striking the Westinghouse airbrake
appliance at the engineers side. rem
dered the pneumatic brakes useless.
In another instant the driving rod on
the other side of the locomotive broke
and the train darted down the incline,
gaining great momentum.
Engineer Ryan and his fireman
abandoned the cab after the whistle
had been blown calling the train crew
to the handbrakes on the tops of the
freight cars. When the crew reached
the brakes the train was speeding at
20 miles an hour
Another segment of one Of the broken
rods then crashed through the oil
tank on the tender and trail of
crude oil marked the frenzied flight of
the runaway engine. Another piece Of
a rod was hurled against the steam
chest and punctured it. releasing the
motive power. Although no steam was
left in the boiler the dead" engine
continued on its perilous journey until
the handbrakes were finally clamped
tightly upon the wheels of half the
freight cars. Smoke issued from every
axle box while the attempts were made
to check the runaway cars.
Various parts of the engine which
had been torn loose by the whirling
broken rods were strewn along the
path taken by the train. The track
in many places had been thrown out
of alignment where the rods had
smashed the ties.
