Entering a blind approach to the
trestle. which is 26 miles east of
Miles City. the engineer had no
warning that the creek, normally
almost a dry bed in the scorched
plains of eastern Montana, was at
flood stage.
The great steel train rolled out
on the treStle. The engine had just
reached the opposite side when the
structure collapsed at its center.
With a force that threw sleeping
passengers about their berths, the
heavy locomotive was jerked back

swirling waters. dragging six cars

into the torrent it formed a dam

coaches.
There were 1911 persons on the
train Thirty-eight passengers were
in one of the submerged coaches
When the crash came the engin-
eer and fireman of the locomotive
were instantly killed. Death came
to the baggageman and the mail
clerk. The conductor, deadheading
also died.
The fatalities of the wreck were
