Show A Train Derailed. Between Lehi and Lehi Junction -- No Serious Results. Mr. McKendrick informss us of a narrow escape from a serious wreck, on the Union Pacific last evening between Lehi Junction and Lehi. The train loaded with conference people returning for Salt Lake city, was running along at the usual rate of speed when two horses broke out of an adjoining field and ran on the track, in front of the train, this caused the engineer to slacken the speed, and suddenly the passenger noticed a jerky movement and finally a complete stoppage of the train, upon looking into the cause of this the engine and baggage car was found to have run off the track through a switch being left open. The train was delayed about two hours, til tan engine arrived from Eureka and pulled the derailed engine and baggage car back on the track. The accident would no doubt have been serious if the train had been running at full speed. |
