A switch engine at Rich mound Alabama suffered two broken stay bolts which bulged the crown sheets opening the throttle and sending scalding steam. The engineer jumped clear as the engine ran off, a crank pin and siderod broke, the cab splintered, and the locomotive finally halted four miles from town. Repair work will be extensive before reuse.
