Twelve carriages, a heavy oil tank, and brake van ploughed up the permanent way, doing considerable damage. In all, 4S passengers were hurled on top of one another. All escaped with a severe shaking and shock. A portion of the train halted at tho top of a high embankment and would probably have fallen down on the other side but for the fact that recent rains had softened the ground and • the wheels became deeply embedded, retarding its progress. *
