Show Wreck on Southern Pacific. A Southern Pacific train was wrecked near Winnemucca,, Nev.v Sunday, Sun-day, the train striking a broken rail on a curve while running at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine, bag. gage and mail cars passed the dangerous danger-ous spot in safety, but every other car of th train, diner, three sleepers and observation car left the track. The last two did not drop from the six-foot embankment, on which the tracks run at the point of the accident. The others tore down the steep incline, ploughed through the deep snow and were scattered scat-tered promiscuously along the track ,for a distance of several hundred feet. The heavy sleepers were only partly turned over, but the composite car and diner, which were first to leave the track, were thrown on their sides at right angles with the track and separated separ-ated from each other by nearly fifty feet. Two people were seriously injured and several others sustained slight injuries. |
