St Louis Express narrowly escapes disaster at new Hackensack draw
A St Louis Express on the Jersey City line ran across a just-opened Pennsylvania Railroad draw over the Hackensack River yesterday afternoon. The locomotive toppled into the river, but the engineer and fireman escaped with minor injuries. The main bridge tender left after the crash, and the draw remained out of service for the day. Nine passengers in two drawing room coaches were transferred to other cars as officials assessed damage and arranged alternate routing.
