Dreadful Collision on the Manchester and Bolton Railway
A grisly rail accident on the Manchester and Bolton route left one dead and several injured. The Manchester Guardian account describes a locomotive derailment near Pepper-hill after the engine jumped the rails in high speed, with the tender thrown far ahead and multiple carriages overturned, including a first class carriage. The engineer died at the scene, the stoker lost a leg, and passengers, including boarding school boys, endured various injuries. An official inquiry notes no fault in the engine, but rails and excessive speed are cited as causes.
