Warriors Ridge. where the accident
occurred, is located in the beautiful
Juniata Valley, and it is along the
Juniata River that the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks wind. The train, con-
sisting OF ten passenger cars and a
postal coach, left Altoona, thirty miles
Uest of the scene OF the accident, more
than an hour late. At the time of the
disaster. II is said the limited was going
at the rate of fifty miles an hour AS
the heavy train, which was drawn by
two locomotives. neared Warriors Ridge,
the euualizing bar on the second loco
motive dropped to the rails. This bar
ia over the trailer wheel and holds up
the spring of the locomotive.
The first car passed over the obstruc-
ton. but nine succeeding cars jumped
the tracks and dropped down the em-
bankment to the brink Of the Juniata.
The observation car remained on the
rails. AS the ponderous steel cars. with
their human freight crashed down the
bank, the telegraph poles were snapped
off like pipe stems. With the telegraph
facilities thus crippled. the telephone of
the Juniata Power Company. near the
wreck. was pressed into service. and
word was sent to Altoona, Tyrone and
