a baggage car and express car, day
coach, diner, two tourist sleepers, a
Pullman sleeper and an observation
car.
The day coach was reduced to splin-
tiers and in this coach most of the
casualties occurred One of the tourist
Sleepers, containing members of the
Denver, Western league, baseball
team, was thrown on it's side and a
number of the occupants, including
President James .McGill, injured, but
none seriously.
