Another man, his arm nearly severed from his body, helped car ry the dead and injured out of the two telescoped coaches. Finally he collapsed.

It was simply horrible. | Screams of the injured combined with the confused shoutings of those from other coaches made the SOunUS q HlS ulHldFe. w. A. Kingland, vice president and general manager of the cen- tral division of the railway, an- nounced after preliminary inves- tigation that an open switch caused the wreck. At least ten of the injured were in such serious condition that phy- sicians gave up hope for their re- covery. A long line of persons formed at the two Hamilton hospitals searching for relatives and friends. Both hospitals called all avail able nurses and physicians for duty.
 All of the passengers in the third coach from the end were badly shaken up. The force of the crash tossed the car up on it's end and it remained in that position at the top of the 150-foot cliff on which the tracks are situated. The cliff borders Dundas.
 Train Crew Acted

The speed and weight of the locomotive opened up a four-foot gap between the tender and the coaches, which were slowed down perceptibly be- fore crashing into the wreckage.
 Railroad men said that if the engine had not been uncoupled, several coaches of the Maple Leaf probably would have buckled, causing additional deaths. The To- comotive, which had rippe e d through the wooden cars of the excursion train was merely driven a little further into the wreckage by the oncoming Maple Leaf
