Show SAVED BY A MIRACLE Car Filled With Passengers Nicely Poised and Swayed on the Verge of an Ab yss. Perhaps tho most curious wreck In tho history of railroad disasters occurred oc-curred somo time ago In Arizona. Tho Maricopa and Phoenix train was rushing rush-ing across tho Tempo brldgo, eight miles from Phoenix, when a span of the brldgo gavo way, hurling tho en-glno'and en-glno'and three cars to tho dry, Bandy bed below. It was a mixed train, the first three cars being trelght cars and tho rest passenger carriages. The fourth enr, filled with passenger'?. hung poised over the edge, teetering apparently In a tfilver of doubt. Had It fallen It must have dragged the next car with It, and the occupants of both have been crushed n the dobrls. It hung, however, half on and half off the bridge, as If ready to Jump Into space, tipped down at quite an angle toward tho ground. The passengers all got out safely. Tho only fatqllty In this accident was that of a Pima Indian who was stealing n ride and got caught In the debris. |
