fireman, C. NJ. Virts of Roanoke, and
slightly injuring Engineer Linkous. The
force of the explosion was downward, and
Norfolk and Western officials say it was

Engineer Linkous was blown through

Fireman Virts had just finished putting

swinging to the wires. The body was
horribly burned and had two bad wounds
