Death has sat at the throttle of
the ill-fated locomotive. AT least
dozen of the train crews and scores
of passengers have been launched by
her into eternity. Her victims were
so many that each engineer as he
took her out on the road shuddered
With dread.
The engine was new in the service
when she met her first disaster She
was one of three narrow-gauge loco
motives sent out to burn anthracite
coal and was first put on the run be-
tween Grand Junction and Gunnison.
Bill Duncan was her first Inflated
engineer. II was night when she
left Grand Junction on her first trip,
and the accident came when well on
toward Gunnison. The night was
pitch dark and Duncan failed to see
that part of the bridge was washed
away. Bill Duncan and his fireman.
Josh Zuigley, lost their lives. and TO
this day 1t is not known the exact
number of passengers who plunged
to death.
Engineer Godfrey was the next en-
gineer to venture with Dread 107"
on the road. He took her out one
beautiful bright night for the trip to
(tnnniSnn Rot EGRalanfa a nd
Domingues a big boulder had loosen
ed and fallen in the path of the train.
The engine was going at a high rate
of speed and the collision was ter
rible. Godfrey and his fireman met
quick deaths and several passengers
were added to the list of fatalities.
After this accident the engine was
believed by the superstitious to be
"hoodooed. One night in winter,
less than three months after the last
accident Engineer Bratt took l07 out
on the same run. 1t was a perfect,
moonlight night. Between Thapaniro
and Currecanti. in the Black canon OF
the Gunnison, one of the worst snow
slides in several seasons was encoun-
tered. The engine turned turtle and
both engineer and fireman were
killed
After this the engine had such a
bad name that few men could be per
suaded to run her. She remained in
the yards at Grand Junction for a
time and was then transferred to the
western run, between Salt Lake and
Ogden. Ill fate pursued her. AT
least three serious accidents occurred
while she was in service here. 1t
became difficult to get men to run
on her, and she was again trans
ferred to the run out of Alamosa. On
this run several firemen and en-
gineers We're added TO her long death
list, and her name became so bad that
the railroad officials were forced to
put her out of use. The engine was
built over twenty years ago, and the
story is told that more fatalities were
the work of Dread 107" than of any
other engine ever run on the Denver
e Rio Grande. Salt Lake Herald.
