Two Killed as Chesapeake Train Derails Near Chillicothe
The Sportsman of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad derailed one mile northeast of Chillicothe last night. Two men were killed including engineer Harry Greshman of Covington Kentucky and an unidentified black rider. Four others were injured seriously with multiple grisly injuries and possible further buried victims under wreckage. Railroad officials blamed a shale bed causing the track to slide from under the engine on the curved section near town. A small bank prevented a plunge toward the Scioto river.
