PABIS, 15th December. When a goods train was ascending a grade near St. Quentin a coupling broke, and forty laden trucks started, uncontrolled, downhill, and met a following goods train. There .was a fog, and there were heaped trucks on both sides of the line, and a third train, arriving on a parallel track, smashed into the wreckage, killing three and injuring one of the train attendants.
The Murulla disaster in New South Wales was also caused by the breakage of a coupling in a goods train and the after portion running, back downhill.
