Winnipeg mo1se about on scene continued from Page 1 Cial train from Kenora while every available ambulance and an emergency train raced to the scene from Winnipeg. Passengers f1kst As one railway official said the railway s first concern in such a disaster is for its passengers. Then it must get he tracks Cleat so the train service can be resumed and when both these i items have been attended to the railway worries about the cause of the Accident. Considering the almost inaccessible place at which the Duvail ment took place i he Rescue train and ambulances did wonders in getting the injured to Hospital so quickly. Almost before the last of the injured had left the scene rail Way Crews were beginning to re pair the More than 400 Yards of tracks which were torn up. Throughout the night workmen toiled to repair the damage. Ill was shortly after 6 o clock Satur Day morning that the no. S out. Of Winnipeg was Able to slowly Edge past the wreck after being1 held at Rennie More than seven hours. The eastbound no. 4 and no. 6 were held at Whitemouth during the night. A second work train left win a in pc. Around 1.30 Friday morn ing for the scene carrying line-1 men to fix the lines knocked Down when the train left the i tracks. Miraculous Escate looking Over i to scene shortly latter Dawn saturday morning it seemed miraculous Tiit so Many had escaped death or serious in jury. The train Crew were amazed at their Good Fortune. It seemed that no human being could have stayed in the engine and Gage car which bore the Brunt of the Accident and escape. By a strange quirk of Fate one of the engine Crew on the Relief train from Kenora was a brother of the dead brakeman. He was relieved of his duties and sent Back to Kenora. More about pre Dawn continued from Page 1 end of the train were tilted at a 45 degree Angle. Jumi de on curve the train which was travelling East on the North tracks jumped the rails just after rounding a Sharp curve. At the Side of the tracks was a huge Rock which had been blasted to make room for the Railroad. Railway officials at the scene explained that the engine had jumped the tracks after rounding the curve and had slithered across the South tracks churning them into a mass of twisted steel. As it got Light i could clearly see the details of the wreck. Like slowed Field the train windows were broken where the passengers had tried to free themselves from the wreckage. Bloodstained rags could be seen everywhere around the coaches. The Railroad bed was torn like a ploughed Field. Chairs were still standing around burned out fires which had been lit following the wreck to drive away the swarms of flies. After surveying the Complete wreckage with photographer Les Doherty who arrived on the work train i was amazed that Only two persons had lost their lives. It could have been a repetition.1 of the Dugald wreck in septem a Ber 1947 which claimed 31 i lives and injured 85 others.
