Brussel, saw 500 feet in front of him a trestle, a quarter of a mile long, enveloped in flames. Brassel says he was so frightened his hair stood on end, but he saw it was impossible to stop the train, so he opened the throttle to its widest and the train rushed swaylng through the flames, and stopped safe on the other side of the structure. Before it carne to a standstill the burning trestle fell in a heap of ruins on the rocks 50 feet below. There were T5 passengers on the traiu.
