Brave railroad engineer stops runaway Duquesne flyer
On August 7 in City, Pennsylvania, engineer John Casey of the Duffalo and Allegheny Valley division steered the Duquesne flyer from derailing after the locomotive left the rails near Kennerdell. Traveling about 60 miles an hour, Casey braced the engine as it toppled toward a curve and embankment. Passengers, most from Pittsburgh bound for Chautauqua lake points, presented him a $50 purse for heroism and coolness. Casey, a Pittsburg resident, is regarded as one of the division’s ablest men.
