An Engine Toppled Over. Sat
urday night between ten and eleven
o'clock a locomotive of the Petersburg
road ran off the track on the bridge
across the canal, crushed the bridge in
and toppled over on its side into the canal.
The accident will cost the Petersburg
road several hundred dollars. The facts,
as near us we could gather them, are
these: The freight train for Richmond
was made up by the yard master, Mr. W.
T. Shaw, who gave it orders to leave and
then began making up a freight train to
be sent South. A train had a short
time before gone north on the straight
track the switches being set for that pur
pose. This train, of which Jimtnie
O' Brien was engineer, went out on a side
track the switch connecting which with
the main line was wrong. Engineer
O'Brien was going slowly and saw the
switch was wrong. He put the brakes
on the engine, shut off steam and sig
naled the trainmen to put brakes on the
ears. The train was moving down grade
and the momentum carried the -engine
beyond the switch. It struck the bridge
between tracks where it w.is too weak to
bear the weight and crush jd it in, falling
over ou its side and doing considerable
damage. The fireman jumped from the
engine when he saw trouble ahead, but
engineer O'Brien remained at his post
during the whole time and coolly stepped
from the cab after the c fastrophc, al
though one side of it was nearly flat on
the ground. He showed true courage
and devotion to duty which ought to
raise him high in the estimation of the
officials of the road aud the public gener
ally. Fortunately no one was hurt. The
accident happened on the yard of the
Seaboard road and the local officials of
tho Petersburg road claim that the Sea
board uien are responsible for the acci
dent, as it was their duty to see that the
switches were properly set The work of
raising the locomotive was immediately
begun under the supervision of Mr.
Morton Riddle, Jr., who has recently
been made road master of the Peters
burg road, and was finished Monday
morning,
This is the fifth accident to occur to
the Petersburg road within as many
weeks, we learn.
