Press Association—Electric Telegraph- Copy>ijjht
Brussels, February 20. Eight hundred passengers were on board the Mons express. The guard, seeing the collision was inevitable applied the Westinghouse brake with such force that it uncoupled the engine, which crashed into three third class carriages of the train for Tournay, which was standing at Forest.
The victims were terribly mangled. The driver of the engine did not see the aignals against him.
