Farmer Gaves A Train Save at Temple Texas Bridge Fire
A Missouri Kansas Texas freight train barely escaped a burning Cottonwood creek bridge four miles north of Temple Texas after a farmer lagged his wagon to warn the engine crew. The blaze left the span completely destroyed and railroad men call it a miraculous save. A second incident near Marysville Missouri saw an Omaha and St Louis excursion train wreck on a Platte river bridge but all passengers escaped unharmed as rails failed and the engine and cars toppled yet found support on timbers.
