Derailment of Passenger Train follows Breaking of an Axle on a Freightâ€"Jhe Passengers Escape Injuryâ€" Engineer and fireman Injured Railway Wreck on G. T. R. Near Omemee Junction troaching trains from either direc- arm. ‘Slh'lal to The Watchman-Warden) Omvmne. Dec. 10.â€"Whlle the engine .\9 th.- mixed train. generally known "u: tho Britton train, was engaged in shunting at the Omemoe station on Saturday morning. an axle on the “unadwr broke. thus blocking the main “ma for several hours. However. through trafilc was not. delayed as the break occurred directly opposite the switch which in the meantime was he- nna occupied as main line. The switch. therelore, was open at each and for the accommodation of all ap- .\s the 11.15 a..m. express .was near- ‘ in; the western switch. at somewhat met-eased speed owing'to its being a 3,“. minutes late, 'the engineer, Peter McCluskey, of Toronto, failed to ob- arrve in time, that his train was to ӣ11m the switch. The fireman, Albert Bishop. also of Toronto, busy with some nmessary task at the time, did cm. detect the danger soon enough, and although the brakes were applied as soon ~as possible, the train made the sudden transfer at ‘t00 high a. speed to keep the rails and in a mo- ment not a. single section of the tram remained in place. The engine. the best in the service on this d,vilion. remained on the roa-dbed for possibly twice its length, 'and then turned down a steep bank to the left, tearing on‘ its Sore trucks as it buried its front in the frozen earth below. The tender. being freed from the engine ahead. continued F with the rails, passed the engine. and lay broadside o! the switch a few 'yards beyond. The mail and baggage car also passed the engine to . come toa sudden- standstill, derailed, con- siderably damaged with the trucks :disarranged. The middle coach, turn- |ing more to the left, collided with the rear of the engine proper, stood mo- tionless On the edge of the embank- ment‘with its front trucks lying in the ditch below. This car was more damaged than any of the others. The 7 -â€"-__ 4.1â€"- name-bu“ ......... .1 rear coach stood somewhat across the rails but was little damaged. How the occupants of the engine escaped with their li's'es is a mystery. The en- â€"V-- __ "nu- v __ gineer was found lyehihd the engine, under the front portion of the second coach ; the fireman was thrown about 30Ifeet beyomi the engine.
