Freight car breaks away and train keeps on
The Erie railroad proves a freight train can lose a car from its middle and still maintain schedule. Ed Mott of Goshen recalls a 1895 incident near Port Jervis where a cattle car vanished midtrain, later found empty in Sullivan County after cattle crossed the river on ice. A 1910- era West Tuxedo incident showed a missing car detached between cars thirteen and fifteen, found a mile north with automatic brakes shortening discovery time.
