ed to death. One of the splintered
cars was burned on the brink of the
river.
According to stories told by injured
passengers it was one Of the worst
catastrpolies in the history of Cana
dian railroads. An official statement
says that the accident was probably
due to broken rail.
The wreck occurred 81 miles west
of Sudbury, where the tracks cut into
the sides of a steep hill skirted by the
river. The forward part Of the
train passed over the break. The day
coach, the fourth from the end Of the
train, was the first to leave the rails.
The train was running at 40 miles
the car down the hill in a terrific
plunge. About Is passengers were in
this car, and it is practically certain
that none escaped.
Two minutes after the first crash,
only the roof of the day coach shovel
above floating ice in the river. The
second-class coach smashed against
the end of a culvert and crushed like
an egg she'll. Some passengers were
killed outright, but others were caught
in the, ;wreckage, which broke into
hams and were roasted to death.
From the crew Of the freight train
1t is learned that two second-class
coashes were derailed and afterward
took fire. Eighteen persons are said
TO be dead and it is thought that most
OF the injured were in these two ars.
