The Meteor train, delayed and traveling at fifty miles an hour, hit a switch after a preceding freight sent back a flagman who was not seen again. The train tore along, left the track, and broke apart. The engineer lay under wreckage with a hand on the air brake. The mail car burned briefly but was put out by passengers. Only those in the last sleeper escaped injury.
