thread_title:  Fatal tunnel explosion 

message: According to the Los Angeles Herald, Number 135, 2 February 1899, a fatal accident occured on 31 January 1899, after the Alameda local train on the narrow-gauge line jumped the track on Central avenue at the Second Street switch in the afternoon at 5:12 o'clock. The engine — No. 19 — toppled over sidewise, carrying down Engineer Henry H. Jonas and Fireman Ed. F. Colson. In the seven cars of the train several hundred passengers were severely shaken up and some of them badly bruised. None are believed to have been dangerously injured. Those passengers in the front coach or smoker, which left the track and partly turned over, had a narrow escape. Ilie overturned engine fell crosswise on the track and brought the smoker to a lull stop. This hurled the passengers from their seats and a scene of confusion ensued. Engineer Jonas was pinioned under the cab. He lay on his back, with his arms extended. the hot steam scalding the flesh from his face. His right leg was broken in two places just above the ankle. lie inhaled the steam, scalding his mouth and throat. During three-quarters of an hour while he lay pinioned he retained consciousness. Fireman Colson was on the upper side of the overturned cab and was thrown out as the cab twig tied around. He is in a precarious condition. Conductor Lorenzo M. Brink hurried from the smoking car to where Engineer Jonas was being cooked by the escaping steam, and while attempting to shield the latters face was himself scalded. Engineer Jonas died at at 1:30 am of 1 or 2 February 1899. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 15:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
