W PINEVILLE One 18 year old youth was jailed and two others released to their parents as officials probe a Virginian railway engine wreck near Simon. Prosecutor Bailey said the held boy denied involvement while others were charged with causing the wreck. A heavy bolt fastened to a rail sent the 800 mallet type weighing about 2000 pounds into the bankside. The engine would have fallen hundreds of feet if off track. They claimed they did it because the train went too fast to get coal off the cars.
