Thrilling Ride on Engine Stirs Narrow Escape
A train engine sped with riders on its footboard for seven miles before brake control was found. A painter fell unconscious from a signal box staging after it was too close to trains. Convicts and sailors attempted dangerous feats aboard trains, including acrobatics, jumping between cars and evading inspectors. A British team’s railcar fire during a Cape journey sparked frantic efforts to extinguish it while a flood wrecked cars and stranded passengers. A mouse triggered panic in a ladies compartment near Leicester, and wolves attacked a bound Balkan train before passengers repelled them and escaped.
